White privilege doesn't mean that every white person does better than every x person. It has never meant that anywhere but your need for it to mean that, in order to argue against it. IDK what sense there is in referencing asians, because a-the truth of the statement wouldn't demonstrate that white privilege doesn't exist.. b, the truth of the statement is in some measure dependant upon subtle racism......and c, it's not as if this country is dominated by asian culture, asian police, asian politicans, or asian citizenry.
And I don't get why you're saying me being wrong = whites privilege exists.
I said in the first post it exists, if I've argued for anything it's the extent to which it exists in certain circumstances.
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.
Impersonation is treason.
