Why is that? Where do you think the prejudice stems from?

That's it. There's bigotry in other countries. We can stop talking about our own now, and talk about theirs.

I am a white guy.

For years now, I have been working toward moving out of this motel in which I live.  I have a full time job.

If white privilege was real, I would be living in a mansion.

I dare you to demonstrate a greater misunderstanding of the term 'white privilege'.

Even though most companies regulate against sexual discrimination and especially since gay marriage has become legal here in the unfortunate states of the U.S.?
You are correct, straight privilege magically went away the day the SCOTUS ruled gay marriage legal.

Please ensure I never move to any of those deluded states.
Let us know when you're moving and plenty of us will be happy to let you know the legal status of gays in the state you're moving to.

Though, I must ask, toward which direction are you swinging right now in relation to sexuality?

Why does it matter, my sexual preference is for people that like Harry Potter and Sailor Moon? And yeah you do, no body will call any monosexual a whore, or think they're more likely to cheat. And no one assumes you're always up for threesomes, foursomes, and tensomes. I've actually been chased out of lesbian bars and told my kind wasn't welcome.

Well, they won't call them a whore or think they're more likely to cheat because they're monosexual....

Indeed there is, unless you are so short-sighted and only come here because these problems ONLY exist in America. You only have to watch disaster movies made in Hollywood that show meteors that somehow only target the USA.......we call it "egotistical."  Big Grin

Then in that case, surely the thread title is misleading. Privilege for all races exists depending on where you are brought up. Believe it or not, blacks go on about the Indians and how they are privileged in India, or how the Whites and Asians are priviliged in India too and yet not one fuck was given with regards to those who don't have that privilege of an education.
