You don't think it matters? You do realize Asians are the fastest growing minority group in America, right? Their success is a huge refutation of the idea that there is white privilege in America

Furthermore, Bernie fails to articulate why there are such disparities

Asians are no longer classified as a minority in this country. It's just the Oppression Olympics.

Not to mention Latinos for the most part are first or second generation

What was the net worth of first and second generation whites? Probably low

I'd say Indians are an even bigger example. We've been in the Japanese and Chinese sphere of thought for 150 years. Very few Indians stepped foot in this country before 1950. How can Indians who we share really nothing in common culturally can come over here and be great successes?

Actually, it is. Sorry

Do you know what privilege is defined as? An individual or group having unfair advantage over other groups

Why is it unacceptable? Maybe, just maybe some people are willing to put in the extra work to get ahead.

What do you think the problem is?

Couldnt be culture, could it?

I mean a black doctor is more likely to have successful children because of the culture instilled into them.

But in the 9th ward... Get rich or die tryin' amiright?

White privilege is an upper middle class/upper class kid fantasy. They had parents with money and think all white people do.

Most kids who grew up in my neighborhood would laugh at the concept, including the black ones.

People think Asians is just Chinese, but Indian people come here, and are millionaires within about 2 generations.
