Why don't you ever hear about Asian privilege then?

The Impastable's picture

Because Asians are part of the minority? And in turn they still suffer from white privilege, although to a relatively less degree than other minorities?

That's because they have the highest average IQ by race. Poverty, crime, social unrest etc. can all be reduced to intelligence and cultural values of work ethic. It's racist to say shit like that but it is true.

I am going to go sulk in my white guilt now....

dudebro's picture

Where did you find those racist statistics? They were written by the evil white man no doubt!

The Impastable's picture

Nobody said you should feel guilty? I don't feel guilty for getting to where I got so far, I just understand that white privilege exists. If you don't then you don't. Lol.

The Impastable's picture

You caught me! Now give it up, hand over all your means of production!

The Impastable's picture

Ok lol

THE_MECHANIC's picture

Fucking love Minor Threat! Forgot about this one... Nice reply hahaha

The Impastable's picture

It's cute that you cite YouTube as a source. Smile

Guess we're both fucked then

I went to uni, obtained a degree, do not apply it to my current career, and I alone have a higher median income than the median Asian American household income, what's your point?

The Impastable's picture

I agree with you to a certain extent, as average =/= median as you cited. It also comes down to skills, and if you want to compare apples to apples you'd have to look at a per field basis. For example, in my industry I can guarantee you whites earn more than Asians, or any other ethnicity for that matter. But, do Asians earn more than whites in their respective fields?

We're also digressing into a different topic right now...

I think the definition of fact eludes you. The right is dying and people you like you are the ones killing it.

Pale's picture

We are going to see. I am going to be the first to personally rub your face in it.

The Impastable's picture

Strawman. Household income means they are acquiring skills that others lack and have higher reltive incomes as a household. Does not indicate whatsoever they don't experience institutionalized privilege or that they are no longer grouped in with minorities.

dudebro's picture

Hilarious. I can see this is completely pointless.

The Impastable's picture

All political discussions are To some extent.

The Impastable's picture

How is it out of hand? I will agree with discrimination being a human characteristic regardless of any personal values, but that's not we are discussing. We are referencing institutionalized privilege. It's not a "I don't like (insert here) people" it's an actual phenomenon where someone who by accidental birth happens to have certain characteristics isn't given the same opportunity as someone who happens to fall into Being born differently.

See my response to mussels below. There are plenty of funds/scholarships that exist solely to other groups, such as poles.

The Impastable's picture

Oh boy...

White privilege is real, there are countless of studies done in sociology studying this, the most basic ones are the "resume trials" where callbacks for people with black sounding names are significantly lower than those for white sounding names. And, before you spin this into something crazy, all resumes were fake, and all variables but the name were held constant.

But please, back up your claim with factual evidence of this "myth"... And that doesn't mean spew out random links to articles, it means analyse the actual studies done and explain how they back up your claim.

The Impastable's picture

It's not discrimination, it's much deeper than that. It's institutionalized white privilege.

The Impastable's picture

Yup. And an immigrant.

Pale's picture

There you go being naive again...

The Impastable's picture

I tend to agree with the whole concept being horseshit, but just as a rebuttal white history month is every month.

Black college fund - what about the Pulaski scholarship, or any number of scholarships /funds that are only available to certain people? It's not privilege, it's a half measure to combat institutionalized privilege and attempt to level a playing field.

Neither is alright, and maybe it's because I'm from the NE but nobody runs around chanting this shit. It grew out of an attempt to gain equality and served it's purpose at the time.

This is no longer an issue. It's evolved to minorities still not being on equal footing with whites, which they aren't in any economic or social sense.

Affirmative action - see point #2.

Do you REALLY want to go all the way back to colonial times buddy? I thought we were keeping this stateside, in economic, political, and social environments we can understand, without strawman arguments?

MLK, haven't read up enough on your citation, but it doesn't diminish his movement, not sure what the point you're making is?

The Impastable's picture

It stems from economic disadvantages, which are rooted in... Unless you're telling me it's simply because they're black?

The Impastable's picture

People with economic disadvantages commit more crimes in general, Regardless of race. But of course you dare not bring up those statistics since it's obviously just because of skin color. They're savages!

The Impastable's picture

Lol, and fin.
