Louis CK on white privilege

Post Reply New Topic

What do people who deny white privilege exists say to this?

Reverse racism!

Another hate thread?

Oh ... it's just Thomas ... never mind ...

lol very good. Where is the 'hate'?

White guilt just enables the dehumanisation and exploitation of whites by non whites and encourages whites to give non whites a pass when they act like s***s. It's silly because race is an arbitrary distinction as regards character.

Why is it funny? Racial demographics are changing in the west, and anti white racism is becoming more of an issue. Last I checked, I wasn't running any empires. By imposing racial paradigms on me, you force me to adopt racial paradigms
and your accusations of racism become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Don't worry, you can't be racist against whites, because they have the power! (Yeah, that's me rolling my eyes.)

Though on the thread, it should be called "majority privilege", as that's what it is; it's nothing to do with actual skin color unless you make it so (which is racism. Heh). It's where you'd have "Japanese privilege" living in Japan as a South Korean.

People are often so racist [and sexist], yet they don't even know they are.

If you are white you should be ashamed of being white and check your privege! All white people are devils and should be exterminated!

Yep the extermination of white people is hilarious! This brotha speaka troof! Yep nothing funnier than seeing all white people killed because its funny! If you see a white baby throw it against a brick wall for laughs! Yep its funny all white people are evil devils and should be exterminated.

as I've been told only white people and japanese can be racist.

Quoted for truth. I honestly don't see why this is so hard to understand, especially when the things considered "white privilege" often consist of "most people share my skin colour".

Flawed question is flawed.



The internet needs actual [sarcasm] tags.



Exactly so. And that 'privilege' is nebulous when you start to consider people as individuals rather than a homogenised mass of like-minded clones.



Quite so. Take this dingbat for instance:





Notice how neither definition contains the phrase "unless the target is white"?

Those who like to use the phrase "white privilege" should pay special attention to 1.1.

Generalist dictionaries are not appropriate in specialist discussions.

I would imagine Ominous would contend that there is a meaningful difference between anti-white prejudice and anti-black prejudice.

Oh, and "white privilege" isn't quite the same as "majority privilege". White South Africans in the 80s were definitely the privileged racial group. White people in majority-minority parts of America are still less likely to be the victims of police brutality. White people are treated particularly well in many African and Asian countries, perhaps because of the pervasiveness of Western culture; non-Western beauty standards are increasingly shifting towards "Disney princess". Perhaps "dominant race privilege" would be the most universal term?
