Nah, it's mainly because your (and several other people in this thread)'s argument are fucking jokes. White privilege isn't real. It's just an excuse to blame your terrible life choices on us.

Continue to be delusional and believe whatever you want, it's a free fucking country. I'm proud of my heritage and certainly not ignorant.

You are.

Have a kudos for the laugh you just gave me.

Anyway, I'm gonna take a break from this thread before I say more shit I regret. You know my opinion on the issue.

Yeah, it's the white privileged one.

Japan has the longest life expectancy, Singapore and Korea are pretty high up there too. As far as I'm aware it's more rare for children to starve to death before the age of 5 than in a lot of white majority countries.

So again this isn't a white privilage.

And I'm really not just saying la la la and ignoring any arguments I'm happy to respond to all claims of what white privilage is. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what the privilage is that white people have that no other racial groups have access to.

Yes lol that's why it doesn't match anything else I said. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll edit it and put it in my "edit reason".

Thanks for that Paul

I also question whether a statistical advantage that may or may not be based on race could be considered a racial privilage.

Asians earn more than whites in America, I've always thought a lot of that was due to superior intelligence and work ethic on average than American white people.

Not to say that American whites are stupid and lazy, but I've just never though of it as being an Asian privilage but an Asian virtue.

You're basically picking out a characteristic about someone and claiming their achievements are due to this one characteristic rather than hard work or innate ability.
