White privileges are those beneficial things taken for granted by whites that arise out of some confluence of the color of their skin and status as a majority group. Not things that no one else has or, more accurately, can get. I don't have to work at it...I don't -have- to be successful, or well educated. I was born this way, with these privileges, with greater opportunity...and I have to work even harder than a minority does..if I wanted to ruin that.
Quote:If you ignore that Asians exist then yes white people are the privileged ones who avoid prison the most.I think that you'd be disappointed to find out why that seems to be.....because it speaks to white privilege, lol.
Quote: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.
You mean, an aligned group....in which a considerable portion actually thinks of themselves -as- white...and which whites accept (even my unabashadly racist buddies think brown people are better than black people, and yellow people are better than brown people)...fare better than a group which both communally deride in a country wherein whites make the rules and run the show? Wonder of wonders.
