Anyone who thinks that racism and 'racial privileges' don't exist is just ignorant and in denial. Like the article says, it's uncomfortable to admit that you are treated better and given better opportunities than others, but that doesn't make it untrue.

That being said, I don't think the writer is dealing with this in the best interest of his kid. I mean, he had an article titled 'I hope my son stays white". If his son ever sees that, that's almost guaranteed to give him some form of complex.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

Is it like that everywhere in America? I find that pretty sad really it even has a black president...

Never seen that kind of discrimination in the UK and there are a lot less black people so far as I know, in Scotland at least.

I don't see a problem with the traffic one though, of course people are going to make a distinction for black people when they're a minority compared to white in their lives.
What's even bad about that anyway? If you're a big black guy you're a big black guy, same as if you're a fat white guy you can't complain about that classification if you're 35 stone you are f***ing fat get over it.

Not to say that black people pull the race card with that kind of thing but everyone is so overly sensitive these days.
If you're black and someone calls you as such, so what?
If you're Asian and someone calls you as such, so what?

It's only bad when you're referred to your race in a disrespectful way like the N word or whatever.

It's a bit more subtle in the UK but it happens here too.

Anything other than the white male norm faces discrimination. It's been that way for centuries, and I wish it would end.

you're a white male, right? a lot of gender issues exist but us males are far less likely to notice them -- hell, a lot of women dont notice them either because we're just so indoctrinated -- because we aren't women.

likewise, it happens with ethnicity as well. personally i can take a lot of that type of s*** and it takes quite a bit for someone to offend me -- i love a bit of banter myself with all my friends regardless of their ethnicity -- but i've dealt with s*** way more than any of my white english friends, and i know a lot of my non-white friends have as well.
it doesn't even matter that I identify more with english culture than my parents' culture, nor does it matter that i was born and raised here in england in english schools and grew up with english friends, along with friends of other ethnicities, and have more mastery over the english language than the white english c*** i've met who are genuinely racist and ooze out hatred. the fact is my skin colour is different and the same goes for millions upon millions of other people, and people hold whatever beliefs and attitudes in their minds about us and attach negative stereotypes because of that before they even get to know us.

it's easy to stereotype -- everyone stereotypes since it's a cognitive function that categorises things in our minds and allows for easier and more efficient access and evaluation. people dont realise it's people's culture and environment that leads to those differences, and not the colour of someone's skin or the shape of their eyes. race is a social construct; a folk taxonomy.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

I'm not going to say that racial privilege doesn't exist, but I will say that it's misconstrued to some degree; even if it's minor.

Statistics are simply numbers, but what people fail to realize is that more blacks tend to live in inner cities than whites. There's more laws in inner cities, and more probability of being caught doing crime due to there being more cops. The simple fact that most inner city residents are black leads to a higher arrest and conviction rate.

Most blacks don't have stable upbringings, simply because most of them live in inner cities, which are not a great place to raise families. There's more laws, and more violence in inner cities than there is in the more remote areas, which is inhabited mostly by whites.
This culture that develops in these inner cities is due to inner cities having sh*tty schools, leaving these kids with little educational opportunity or little hope for advancement in life. This leads to them taking up a criminal culture as an alternative. Being that more blacks inhabit inner cities than whites, this leads to racial profiling, when what you should be more concerned with is demographic profiling... which is often used to racially profile.

However, whites also have to deal with racial privilege when it comes to blacks and other minorities. Believe it or not, it's harder on average for whites to secure foodstamps and government assistance, but due to the fact that more whites live better financial lives, this is the reason why. Politicians assume that more whites can afford to put themselves through college or afford their own food and pay bills, therefore they approve less whites for foodstamps and government assistance than they do with blacks or other minorities.

Whites, due to the demographics that they generally live in, have more opportunity when it comes to education and financial income; but get less opportunity for assistance.
Blacks and other minorities, due to the demographics that they generally live in, have less opportunity when it comes to education and financial income; but they have more opportunity for assistance.

Different cultures and means of thinking naturally develop from these two standards, this is the reason why urban culture is so different than rural culture. However, since more blacks live in urban environments than whites, the racial mind-set usually comes into play when whites see them.

Imjustsaiyanbro:
Your point actually reminds me of a video I saw about a year ago:

I would actually argue that in the present day, white males face some form of discrimination. Now in no way am I comparing that to the discrimination faced by women and people of different races and cultures, not in the slightest, but to say that there is no discrimination against men or white people is wrong. As someone with an interest in hip-hop, when I frequent comment sections, there is clear racism against white people that is just ignored or treated as justified. I've had derogatory claims made against me because I said I was white. I even saw one person say "I'm black, I can't be racist". It exists, but obviously it's not as deep-rooted in society and history as discrimination against other races.

Also, there are examples of sexism against males. Parental rights differ between mothers and fathers. Judges are more forgiving to mothers with troubled histories than they are to father's in custody hearings. Male victims of sexual assault are treated differently to female victims. Stay-at-home mothers are more accepted by society than stay-at-home fathers. Again, in no way am I saying that men have it just as bad as women, but to say there is no discrimination at all is just wrong.

Recently read a story of a guy who got fired for complementing a female (she claimed sexual harassment). Chances of him getting a decent job ever again are slim. There's definitely discrimination in the world for everyone. The intensity varies by demographic.

So many stupid things in one post.

Firstly, comparing being fat to being black just shows how dumb you are. A person can exercise and become leaner, a black guy cannot change his skin color. Seriously? What are you thinking?

Secondly, it is a problem when someone is being seen differently because of their skin color. It is not okay that people distinguish black people while driving in a worse way. We all do it, yes, but it's not a good thing. I mean, come on man.

And easy for you to say my pale white friend. You don't have to deal with any discrimination for your color. You clearly are extremely ignorant on this subject, why even try to act like you have any sort of idea?

Also, your constant jabs at America are just really getting annoying. I see it across many of your posts. Seriously, come on. Also, I notice you enjoy jabbing at fat people, a lot. Sounds like you may have come into contact with a fat person who did not treat you so nicely. Again, seriously, come on.

Sincerely,

a white guy.

Well yes, of course. White men can face discrimination, but "oppression" is a different term. A white, heterosexual, wealthy man could not be oppressed in our society. He could be discriminated against because of his race, his gender, etc... but not oppressed. And the form of discrimination he will experience would be nothing like the discrimination other groups have had to deal with, like you mentioned.

Sexism against men can happen as well.
