Every time when I hear White Privilege I think of this skit from SNL with Eddie Murphy.

BUT to say by simply being a white male doesn’t give you certain privilege
If I was Asian instead of White, and I did everything the exact same... meaning made the same grades at the same schools and had parents who did everything the same, etc..... would my life be any different?
Would I be worse off simply because I was Asian instead of White? I can’t imagine that being the case.

White privilege should really be called majority privilege. The more majority boxes you check, the more privilege you have, but there is nothing inherently wrong about that fact. It's simply human nature.

It would be better.
Asians outclass whites in almost every classification.

Well you'd have a better chance of getting into Harvard. Or any other institution that cares more about diversity than qualifications.

Does anybody think Robert from Live PD has white privilege?

It wouldn't be the same. Your experiences would be different.

The average income is damn near $20,000 more.

Actually I think I read something recently about Asians having a tougher time than anyone getting into elite schools.

Asians maybe, but not Orientals.

“Minority” is morphing into something not defined by group size.

I wonder if she's ever been to Appalachia.

It's funny how they never mention that Asians have white privilege on steroids
Posted on 8/16/18 at 9:17 am to Scruffy
They complain about admission not being fair, however...

Asian-Americans make up about 5 percent of the population of public high schools in the United States and were 22 percent of those admitted to Harvard's freshman class this year.
