If you ignore that Asians exist then yes white people are the privileged ones who avoid prison the most.
I "lost" in the comparison between blacks and whites because white people go to prison less than blacks, which is a point I have said is true all along anyway.
And looking at crime rate figures of black on asian crime vs white on asian crime, taking into consider population size I'd say white people are more amenable to asians than blacks. And looking at black on white crime vs asian on white crime relative to population size Asians are also more amenable to white people than black people.
The group of people that is less likely to be harassed by cops includes Asians and whites. You're taking the definition of 'privilege' super literally. Why is that?
So white privilege exists in the way everyone says it exists, but don't take the word privilege literally. Just define the word so it confirms that everyone is correct about white privilege.
Hispanic people earn more and are imprisoned less than blacks so if we don't take the word privilege literally then that's odd I think but then in that case you're being racially discriminate in focusing just on white privilege if being privileged now means being more advantaged than black people in terms of earning money, education, prison rates and so on there must be brown privilege, Asian privilege, white privilege, not to mention different types of brown and whites privilege like Jew privilege, Korean privilege.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
