My privilege as a straight, white, cisgender, middle class thin male

[Thumpalumpacus]

I don't support white guilt because I don't promote it or engage in actions that allow for discrimination of non-white people. I also dislike the racist card, but it's not about that - I'm not saying all social justice advocates propose it correctly.

But what you did say was that privileged people aren't aware of it, and that's why I brought up white guilt -- not to say you espouse or project it, but to show you that there are certainly privileged people who are aware of the fact, no matter that you think otherwise.

No, but it's possible to objectively measure the quality of life of a certain group of people and observe social standards and reactions, making a judgement about the probability of the unknown average white compared to the person of colour having certain benefits. That's where I'm going to, I'm not pointing fingers to specific people or individuals I know, though I've personally witnessed differences in treatment of people because of factors I mentioned in the OP

So, how do you apply this knowledge without making assumptions about individuals? And why are you interested in making probability judgments based on skin color? That sounds like a bit of profiling to me. Do you think it's wrong or right to profile blacks as more likely to be criminals based on incarceration rates? I don't. And I equally reject profiling whites as being well-off, or privileged.

There are certainly differences in income between the races, certainly differences in conviction rates based on skin color -- but applying probability assessments about strangers based on those statistical trends doesn't seem very productive, to me -- an attitude you clearly agree with ("I'm not pointing fingers to specific people or individuals I know"). Why engage in it?

And implying that all whites are privileged, and at the same time ignorant of that fact, is not something I'll agree with, on either score.
