But there are inherent challenges in being a minority race. Instead of white privilege it should be called something like minority disadvantage. this is the best explanation of it in the history of CE Yeah, the term really should be re-branded. Majority privilege/advantage or something. It's the way it is, PROBABLY, at most places. In Japan, you're probably at an advantage if you're the majority race, Japanese. In middle-eastern countries you may actually be at a disadvantage if you're white. China might be similar, I don't know. It's just that for whatever reason it makes more of a big stink here in the US. Something about our culture makes us cry louder and more frequently. To be honest, I thought such things were already implicitly stated. --- If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply. <cite>Kineth posted [p:896851250] in Do y'a...
