re: Is white privilege a real thing?

It also doesn't hurt if you know it is and take pride in that fact.

If someone calls me a "you short ugly jewboy f$&k!"

That doesn't hurt me at all. I am short, I know I'm not good looking, I am a Jewish male, and I do enjoy f$&king. No reason to be offended. Admitting you are offended by someone's words or actions is admitting that you are giving them power over you. This entire "triggered" culture is basically broadcasting the message of "we're so completely inferior and weak that you have to coddle us just so we don't die!!!"

My response to that is if my "micro aggressions" and privilege are simply so impactful on you so as to ruin your day, then you deserve to be harmed by them. You are simply too weak to be saved. If it's not, then it's too worthless to get riled up over. I think we all know the real reason is it's all a massive lie. They're not really offended or angry at all. They're just using these emotional appeals to get people to cave into their demands and give them what they want: attention and power. They use this way because it's easy and they lack the strength or wherewithal to get it any other way. I mean, why worry about debating an opinion you disagree with when you can just claim it offends you and silence it without having to refute it with facts?
