I'm constantly asking myself what asians have to with anything when it comes to white privilege. Feel free to open yet another thread on yellow privilege. But white privilege is a western thing. And if you fails to see it's a reality, you're either resorting to some serious mental acrobatics or you wanted to post a loaded question right from the get go to get some confirmation of poor whitey being falsely accused of something yet again.
White privilege being a western thing means it's not a thing in Russia?
Why would Asians have less involvement in a topic about race and privilege than black people?
Or the topic of white privilege in general?
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.

Care to inform yourself on the status of Asians in Russia? Pretty please.
And last time I checked, Russia isn't considered part of the Western world.

Amusingly enough, Paul -has- tried to argue against the idea of white privilege..in america...by reference to foreign countries (in addition to other, equally hilarious things), just as you did, unintentionally.

Correct, hence why I asked the question.

Arguing against the extent of its existence and not just by referencing foreign countries.

What I'm hearing is that starting a thread about white privilege means I don't want to talk about it.
Expressing my opinion about the extent of white privilege is the same as denying its existence. It also means I don't care about racism.
And that additional information relating to a topic clouds and confuses that topic.
That's odd, because as a non-participant in the thread, that's not how I'm reading it.
You're welcome to your interpretation, of course.

Please quote when I told Paul to shut up or otherwise insinuated that he shouldn't express his opinions.
This isn't a debate. It's a discussion. Your points are made up and they don't even matter. Am I being punk'd on whose line is it anyways?
Your own agenda that there is no other privilege that exists except "white privilege", which is nonsense. Privilege exists all over, whatever colour or religion you are. Take a look at Bahrain, where the majority are Shias, but Sunnites are "privileged." How about those in India who do NOT have the right to an education as opposed to others who have that right? How about more white players in NBA, or is it simply "black privilege"?
Quote:Are you serious. This thread has gone on for a million pages. You've said nothing but "wah wah white privilege is real but I don't like it because of dictionaries and plus I don't wanna talk about it." And "All privileges matter" and other such bullshit. Also, it's at least the 3rd or 4th thread of this shit. We get it, you don't like talking about white privilege because not every single white person in the world is overly privileged, and also because Asian people have some privilege. Wanka wanka stop blaming white people for racism. What is there left to do but make jokes?
All you have done in the above is attack the poster without attacking the issue at hand. You have done two things, ad-hom and you also pooh-pooh'd the idea that "all privileges matter." Why don't you think this is just?
Wtf. No. First of all, I don't even have an agenda here. I was just in here talking because I felt like it. Second of all, I never said nor do I believe that only white people have privileges. Secondly, why don't you actually take a minute to read some posts where I made serious points instead of basing your opinion of my stance on a post that was obviously made in response to someone bitching about me making a joke in his precious "white people matter too gosh darnit" thread.
If you refuse to read the posts that are serious and addressing the topic then you are wasting my time. Think what you will and make up any lies about my stance that you wish to. Anyone who can read knows that I don't think only white people have privileges.
ETA: I have 2 second points apparently lmao. I'm out people, Kittencornz have real life responsibilities too ya know. Later

I think I was merely giving an opinion on another country with the resources I had, that is all I can give in my defence. I will stick to what I have said in the thread, but yeah, living in one country and trying to give an opinion on another isn't easy, and I thought it was specifically a general thread rather than being "white privileged in USA thread." My apologies Ryth....
