Of course it is. Haven't you read HHG2TG? Slartibartfast says "I had endless fun doing the fjords in Norway, all those fiddly little bits around the edges" or something like that.

Trolls, Trolls, Trolls!? You can't be a fan of Bowie and not know the meaning of "suffragette" nor able to mix up "surrogate" with "suffragette."
For shame!

It's cause you balance it out with tall privilege. It's easy to succeed in life when you can look down on everyone.

If you don't like the thread than stop reading it. No point locking a thread with an active, non-inflammatory discussion happening.

Do you think if a switch was flipped and racism ceased to exist in America that white people would suddenly lose white privilege? There is a nuance to this that you either dont get or disagree with: whiteness as an inherent privilege vs a society that functions in a way that white people tend to have an advantage over other races.

If you are a white person in a society that tends to give an advantage to white people, then yeah, whiteness is a privilege. A privilege that we call 'white privilege'.

That's cool until you realize that whiteness isn't the only factor that contributes to the advantages white people have in this country. When people use the term "white privilege" it refers to a lot of things that go beyond race, which is why white privilege will still exist if racism magically vanished. Making the conversation and terminology about race detracts from the larger problem. I agreed with Batlord that it does a good job of getting people talking and bringing up the surrounding issues, but it's still a racebaitey term.

Lemme ask you something: Do you think a minority child adopted by a white family has access to white privilege?
