RE: Is white privilege real? To what extent?

Something tells me that had you read this thread...and understood what bits of the conversation you're commenting on now......you'd rethink your comments. Asians are a privileged race, you see...in america. That's why white privilege doesn't exist. Don't take my word for it, ask Paul.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ask Paul.... or just go search for logical fallacies, learn them all and then start commiting them on purpose until they become a habit... then re-read this thread and allow your new terrible logical habits to draw you into making bullshit conclusions and hasty generalizations.

Got any evidence of that ridiculous accusation against the majority of the forum or are you just playing the victim because many people disagree with your denial of reality?
The insults the mocking the sarcasm the plea to emotions the backwards accusations that I just mentioned in the last post.
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.

A good many of which you've manufactured.....but all of which you worked hard to deserve, lol.

Add to the evidence the shock that I would dare to question even the extent at which white privilege exists.
And then the false allegations, repeated allegations that I don't believe white privilege exists because I question the extent and definition of it.

When you're treating cancer, focusing on trimming the toenails doesn't strike me as terribly useful. The fact that he's so wedded to such an approach strikes me as odd and raises questions in my mind.
I'm not saying that the others are insigificant. I'm saying that there are different dynamics at play in those racial relationships because they weren't, you know, kept legally as slaves for several hundred years, for the most part. And they weren't the object of specifically-targeted laws regulating where they could live, eat, sleep, and even relieve themselves. The racism Asian-Americans, Native Americans, and others endure has different antecedents, and different results. Lumping them all together would, as I wrote earlier, cloud the issue.

Paul, you've spent the last 44 pages trying hard to explain why you think that white privilege doesn't exist, and doesn't even make sense as a word, no less....are you going to spend the next 44 trying to pretend that -they- don't exist?

Wow! I'm impressed Paul! Sarcasm in response to ridiculous bullshit totally demonstrates that the majority of this forum has an agenda that gets mocked if not followed!

No, it's important to do the opposite of lumping everyone together. I'd encourage the opposite, look closely at the differences.
Not just involving races but groups within races.
This means not saying white people don't have to deal with racism or being told to get out of the country like some polish people in England do, consider every aspect and perspective of every group in every race before you make a statement about them.
That's what I'd encourage
