All righty then...

Not meant for the lists, but this is interesting: studying the Caucasian Tribe in their natural habitat--answering the telephone.

awareness of white privilege

Hey! That sounds cool! Why didn't anyone tell me? What have I been missing out on??

[.cnI redruM]

Everything's gonna' be all white!

[metmom]

Why do they need to do studies of things that every reasonable person is already aware of? Seems like I'm missing out on a great career field, getting paid to do *studies*. There's worse ways to earn a living.

[edcoil]

the "white" race is the smallest race on the planet, of the 190 nations in the UN only a handfull of then are majority or run by "white" people -

That handfull however seems to be the only successful ones and that majority of all the other countries don't seem to be a place where a lot of people want to live.

...awareness of white privilege...

Stopped reading there. I did not make it to where I am today because of my skin color. I made it here because I had parents who gave a damn about where I was and what I was doing when I was young. I made it here because I applied myself in school. I made it here because I took initiative and blew off the losers who told me I was "selling out" (for whatever reason).

The whole "white privilege" idea is nothing but a Leftist racist cop-out for other minorities not giving a damn about their own future.

Every time I hear that ours is a racist culture that keeps minorities down, I always demand an explanation for the success of the Asian community. And every time I get nothing but bullcrap socio-babble from the Left.

[Locomotive Breath]

a similar majority were able to see prejudice and discrimination as important in explaining white advantage.

Or could it be white cultural values? Like valuing education, a work ethic, and long-term goal seeking. Asians tend to be even better at this than whites. That's the fly in the ointment for anyone who wants to talk about white privilege. Do white people get to complain about "yellow privilege"?

Comedian:	Yo, check this out: black guys drive a car like this. [Leans back, as though his elbow were on the windowsill] Do, do, ch. Do-be-do, do-be-do-be-do. Yeah, but white guys, see, they drive a car like this. [Hunches forward, talks nasally] Dee-da-dee, a-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee.
Homer:	Ah ha ha, it's true, it's true! We're so lame!

And there you have it.

[AppyPappy]

A sign of the times is that we no longer categorize people as a single race. Now applications ask "To which races do you belong?". You can pick multiple races today.

I'm feeling kinda American Indian today.

[SZonian]

I keep looking for this "white privelege" all these affirmative action A**clowns keep talking about and have yet to find it.

Yet at the same time, I'm inundated by "Diversity" and "Inclusion" training and all kinds of other BS propaganda, all the while being called a White racist devil slavemaster because I was born white.

I don't care what you call it, a pig with lipstick on its snout is still a pig and that is what "diversity" is to affirmative action.

The last thing I have to say is to all you hyphenated "americans". You aren't American. You claim to be. But all you want is to be able to claim victim status and at the same time say you are an "american" and demand the rights that come with it while not behaving or acting like an American.

You know what? Screw you! Start acting like an American and then I'll treat you as an equal. Until then...STFU!

Rant off.

The study […] was part of the American Mosaic Project, a three-year project funded by the Minneapolis-based David Edelstein Family Foundation that looks at race, religion and cultural diversity in the contemporary United States.

Funny: German universities in the 1930s made a lot of such studies, too. It's really nice to see our modern, liberal “scholars” take it up and continue where they left ;-\

[70times7]

But Southerners and social conservatives place more emphasis on their racial identity than other white Americans, while those with more education place less.

In other words, race is important to ignorant bigots, but not to the educated elite among us. Gee, I wonder how stacked that poll was.

[isthisnickcool]

Hey wait, I'm actually kind of beige....

Us beige's have a long and sick history of inventing things and generally improving what's around us. A sordid and horrid past of making up stuff like the Internet and titty bars. Elvis? Beige! Einstein? Beige! Steven Hawkings? Beige! Will Farrell? Al Gore? Well, they are kind of pink and don't count.

The only hope for America is to continue to allow the Mexican-Mexicans in to everntually overcome the beige ones and do away with us. This, coupled with Sharia law and making every beige become a moslem will finally bring the beige people under control and get us back to the 17th or maybe even, if we are lucky, the 16th century.

/sarcasm off / Who gives a crap what color someones skin is? Oh, I guess the people that did this "tele-study"...

Idiots.

[pepperdog]

"But Southerners and social conservatives place more emphasis on their racial identity than other white Americans"

Oh year, I get up every morning and check to make sure my whiteness hasn't gotten any darker in the night!

" while those with more education place less"

But if I go to school long enough I might find my proper guilt ridden place in society

" Republican and male respondents most strongly resist claims that discrimination in legal and financial systems can explain white advantage."

Well naturally it would be those mean Republican white men.

" Additionally, respondents--regardless of their racial identity's"

I thought this was a "white" survey so who are those that don't know their racial identity and what are they doing in this survey?

"believed strongly in the importance of individual effort, hard work and family upbringing in achieving success."

Nice to know that individual effort might be given some small recognition.

Well it is the University of Minnesota, the font of all wisdom. I just wonder if the person who wrote this is a journalism major....he/she certainly hit all the pc points...Southeners bad, whites bad, conservatives bad, Republicans bad, men bad. /p>

[Gorjus]

...that a similar majority were able to see prejudice and discrimination as important in explaining white advantage . . .

No bias here. Of course prejudice and discrimination are important. It's just that only the enlightened are able to see it.

... people claim white identity for defensive as well as progressive reasons,

No bias here either. It's of course a well-established fact that the only valid reasons for anything are progressive, not those reactionary defensive reasons. There can not, for example, be any reasons connected with simple fact. All must be political.

[antiRepublicrat]

I'm still waiting on my "white" check, just as Chris Rock is waiting on his OJ check.

[Poser]

We're White Guys
We don't take no crap
When we deliver our
White Rap!

[Oratam]

1) group rights

2) proportional representation

3) protected classes

I've met people who talk about these things as if there is no debate about the rightness or wrongness of them.

[subterfuge]

This goes beyond "playing the Race card."

Now the universtiy gets to "play the Race study."

"It's part of a study!! Whitey is racist!!!"
