What;s embarrassing is the -manner- in which you argue against fact. Not that you argue against it. Asking me if I have a point which contradicts what you said, as though we haven;t been discussing pages of such points, is similarly embarrassing. As I said..theres no -need- to contradict your statements regarding asians..do I think they're a bit malformed and forced...sure (and now you'r prattling on about IQ and achievements, lol)...but it doesn;t matter, because they don't need to be false for white privilege to exist.

White privilege doesn't mean that every white person does better than every x person. It has never meant that anywhere but your need for it to mean that, in order to argue against it. IDK what sense there is in referencing asians, because a-the truth of the statement wouldn't demonstrate that white privilege doesn't exist.. b, the truth of the statement is in some measure dependant upon subtle racism......and c, it's not as if this country is dominated by asian culture, asian police, asian politicans, or asian citizenry.
And I don't get why you're saying me being wrong = whites privilege exists.
I said in the first post it exists, if I've argued for anything it's the extent to which it exists in certain circumstances.
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.

Well if you feel embarrassed that's your problem.
I've been watching you argue against a dictionary definition for a while and I'm not embarrassed I just don't get where you're coming from.

I said white privilege does exist. I'm arguing about the extent to which it exists.

Progress. It exists to the extent of every example -of- white privilege offered in this thread and a great deal more -not- offered in this thread. It exists to the extent that it's an obvious and inescapable conclusion of any metrics you choose to reference in order to put it on a scale. It's ubiquitous, here, today.

Not progress since I stated in the first post what I'm stating now.
I've not progressed or regressed in any point of what I've said.
I've shown the definition of the word privilege shown statistics of situations where white people aren't privileged and people can take it or leave it.

Can you give me the definition of the word privilege? Just wondering.

I can give you the definition of -white privilege-. Or is that not what we're discussing?
