Pointless objections..since both "majority" and "wealth" directly map to white in societies with white privilege.
That white privilege existed in colonial society is an interesting note, but here again it directly maps to a majority with power and wealth, even if they were a demographic minority - and existed as a consequence of how those people expected to be treated within their own society pre-export. Had history gone the other way and we were all sat here talking about black privilege, or asian privilege..it's entirely likely that it would present itself the same way. One wonders whether we're so far away from the same situation in the US, where white privelege manifests itself in a blatantly colonial relationship, again, as our demographics shift.
Peterson gets white privilege as wrong as it can be gotten..but for better or worse it is traditional, so he has to carry that jug, lol.
