More scum recommending using the term "white privilege" should get you reported to Prevent for extremism. Tit.

Tory MP says people using term ‘white privilege’ should be reported as extremists

“It’s racist to actually suggest everyone who’s white somehow is riddled with privilege.”

Thats spot on that - not often I agree with a Tory but he's bang on.

Anyone who says that especially in a position of authority such as a teacher should face disciplinary action.

It’s spot on if you completely misinterpret what the phrase ‘white privilege’ means.

It does not mean, and has never meant, that everyone who is white is riddled with privilege.

The phrase was coined with specific meaning and it wasn’t that. If you choose to be ignorant to that, and choose to assign other meaning to it, then that’s on you.

Its now racist terminology regardless of what its original meaning was.

The Swastika was once a symbol of peace but now its not and therefore you can't go round using that symbol.

Why is the term ‘white privilege’ racist?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Why is the term ‘white privilege’ racist?

Of course its racist - can we say "asian privilege" or "black privilege" and it not be seen as inflammatory language?

The only people who think that term isnt racist in modern society are people who think its impossible for a white person to be racially abused.

I’m asking why you think it is racist, not that you think it is racist.

I want to understand why you believe it be a racist term.

It should be relatively easy for you to explain.

I've told you man because its racist terminology and shouldn't be used in modern society.

That term 20-30 years ago was sadly acceptable but society changes and we shouldn't be labelling people by the colour of their skin regardless of what the original meaning stood for.

Bloody hell. lol Happy Sunday folks

Again non of that is explaining why the term is racist. You are just saying it’s racist over and over again.

It is really interesting to me that you find the semantics of the phrase more problematic than the problem that it is describing (unless you misinterpreted the meaning of the phrase that is).

Your view on these matters (and others like it) has always been consistent. That you are a white, heterosexual man and you are not privileged.

Which is a misinterpretation of what people are talking about when they talk about privileges in this context.

The only real prejudice that you see is a class one. Because that is what you yourself have experienced. You are happy to say that exists because you’ve lived it. But I guarantee if you were a gay woman of colour and all else of you experience was the same, that you would see the privileges that are afforded to you as a heterosexual white man.

The term privilege in this context is meant to be used in an ‘all else equal’ way.

The definition of Racism:

"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group"

Again forget the historical origins of the term - it's racist terminology in modern society. If my kid came home from school and told me his teacher used it I would be putting a complaint in.

Forget about the historical origins of the word? Just because the ignorant are using the term incorrectly does not mean the original mean and context is lost.

Google the phrase ‘white privilege meaning’ and you will be hard pressed to find a respectable source that uses it in the way you do. You’ll find that it is overwhelmingly being used in the correct way.

So, in that respect, do you think you might be wrong?

Yeah, only that isn't what white privilege means, and anyone with more than two functioning braincells knows that.

Misogyny just doesn’t mean what it used to anymore. It’s actually a sexist now.

The logic behind it is just a bit funny.

‘I’ve decided this phrase means something different to what it does and I’m deeply offended by the meaning I’ve assigned to it’.
