There's nothing to address. I agree with the idea, but I'm allowed to complain about why I think it's bad terminology. Similar to how I think it's stupid when people talk about god like it's the universe. We have words to describe that already stop adding on to them and making them unclear to the broader audience. It's just muddying the water. Thanks

Majority privilege is a completely misleading term that tip toes around the idea that it's a racial topic. Pointing out that places like Japan and Africa don't have the same race relations as us does not mean that it's not racial. Yes, majorities do tend to have some kind of advantages where ever you go, but right here in America the reasons are completely out of racial bias. It's not a religious issue, it's not a political identity issue, it's not not a cultural issue, it's not an ethnicity issue it's an issue completely motivated by racial biases. So calling it white privilege is the best way to address this because there are plenty of other majorities in this country who are not affected by the same biases.

Like I said in my above post, just deal with it. If you think you have the influence to change accepted terminology then have at it, otherwise deal with it and bitch on the side. We do kind of need you at this point.

Sounds like being nitpicky to me.

I don't go on facebook and stage campaigns around it. I'm having a discussion with a few forum people. Sounds to me like at least Batlord agrees with my assessment.

No it is motivated by other issues, it's just that the overriding issue is race. The Southern strategy wouldn't work if there wasn't a class issue. It's important to recognize other issues that are tied into race because the race issue has had such a far reaching influence that it's no longer JUST about race, which is why Republicans find ammo to use against blacks that they can paint as not racist. I mean immigration in any form will always be a major influence on a country's politics and slavery is the most bizarre form of immigration any country has ever seen.

Huh?

You're being intentionally obtuse by applying definitions to white privilege that aren't relevant to the concept as a way to challenge the concept. That sounds like being nitpicky instead of looking at the big picture to me.

Majority of this country is Christian, for one. While yes, that does often offer some sort of bias towards Christians there really isn't nearly as big of a bias for them as there is towards white people.

Short sentences are fun.
