Again, majority is not what this is about.
Quote:In my area a random Pakistani passer by knocked on the door and told my parents we should move out because the area isn't for white people anymore. So that kind of attitude of excluding people of a differing ethnic background happens a lot.
That's not the same as landlords and agents discriminating against nonwhite tenants.
Quote:Talking about the three races you mentioned, Black, Asian, Indian. I imagine Black people living in India or further east in Asia have been discriminated against, no white people included. It will happen whoever is in the majority or whoever owns the property in general.
So what? This isn't a contradiction of white privilege.
The original statement by Jordan Peterson was relating to wealth and majority privilege so sticking to that topic it is about those things.
It's not the same as landlords discriminating against non white tenants, it's non white people saying they don't want white people in the area. If a non white person has that attitude and is a landlord I think they are likely to discriminate against white people. So it matters who are the majority of house owners and landlords.
It isn't a contradiction it just isn't an example of white privilege by itself since those examples could be void of any white involvement.
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.
