But I'm saying that discrimination against non-white people by landlords and agents happens not because of "majority privilege" but because of racism.
Quote: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.
Sure, that can happen. I'm not saying it can't ever. But in your case, that didn't happen like that, did it? And it's not like you've given me much context to go by here.

Um, in a way, it is. Black people aren't privileged so are despised wherever they go. Not generally the case for white people.
Black people aren't despised wherever they go. A lack of privilege has never been the cause of hatred.
Yeh racism doesn't exist, that's true.
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.
