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....
Beers! Hells yes...! Not any of that weak ass american piss though, please. The only US drinks I imbibe are bourbon and shine. A, because you can't get bourbon anywhere else...and b..because shine is just so wonderfully.....dislocating.
I would agree with you, ofc, that the dynamics of white privilege do not apply in a county in which either the majority population or the majority power demographic is not caucasian. In those instances, the privileged groups will invariably be those groups with the numbers or entrenched authority to casually and even, perhaps, unintentionally force their normative narratives.
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!
