The specific bias I mentioned- that also effects some whites- is purely ethnic bias and not an example of racism.How many times does it need to be said: race is not a real thing. Racism is.
You can play that game for any example of "racism" because racism is not a reaction to anything real. It's a reaction to a whole heap of illusiory ideas bouncing around in people's heads.The specific bias I mentioned- that also effects some whites- is purely ethnic bias and not an example of racism.
I think using the example of names on applications is a terrible example to attempt to use for claiming racism, when it is demonstrably ethnic. Your sarcasm is not going to magically make it otherwise.You can play that game for any example of "racism" because racism is not a reaction to anything real.

It not unreasonable to ask evidence for a claim ebia.Are you serious?
What!? I'm talking about skin color not race. How you even got the idea for the tangent response is beyond me."Race" isn't something real at all. It's a vague set of ideas in people's heads, that connects a whole lot of stuff, half of it completely imaginary.
In people's heads, names and ethnic appearance correlate.
This book? If so what page number or chapter?Holmes, Sociolinguistics, 2013
I'm not asking the OP though, I'm asking you personally.The OP question is what is meant by...
I have given my definition already in this thread ebia, your side remarks is unneeded.You can define "white privilege" to mean "people who wear a bit of white paper on their head get served faster in McDonald's" and go on to show that they don't, but you won't have done anything useful.
Things like, you're more likely to get a job interview if your application has an Anglo or European name than if it has an African or Asian one.
It's when you exercise your right in an open-carry state to walk down the street with a rifle in your hands and the police talk to you for half an hour without even pulling out their guns and certainly without throwing you down on the ground.
It's when you get pulled over by the police for missing a license plate and it doesn't end up with you getting shot in the head or even going to jail no matter how much you verbally abuse the officer.
It's when you truly don't expect this to happen to you, even when you're doing everything you can not to resist arrest:

What the .... Do you think racism is?I think using the example of names on applications is a terrible example to attempt to use for claiming racism, when it is demonstrably ethnic.
It's not "all or nothing", and neither is White priveledge meant to be "every single white gets this and every single black gets the other".ETA: Why is that? Because it doesn't affect anyone that has an Anglo sounding name! It doesn't affect blacks, whites, and whoever else if their name sounds Anglo. It does affect blacks, whites, and whoever else if their names don't. This implies ethnic bias.

White privilege is the excuse some people use to blame others instead of asking their culture to change things. I have plenty of friends that are african american who hate when others use the white privilege card.
If anyone ever says you have white privilege, either turn the other way and run or help them seek the mental help they need.
In countries where the overwhelming majority of people are white (European countries minus Sweden, Canada, Australia, USA), of course more white people are going to hold positions of power. Of course more white people are going to be represented in the media. There's nothing wrong with that either.
These people honestly believe white privilege exists in African and Asian countries, where the populations could be said to have "Black/Brown" privilege themselves. Then again these people also believe any non-white person cannot be racist. These people live in a tumblr-socialist bubble.
Ask the Irish or Eastern Europeans about having "White Privilege" also.
or help them seek the mental help they need.
Helping them seek mental help is helping them out so I'm not sure what you're rambling on about tbh.What a great example of Christian love and charity. So much for loving your neighbor, treating others as you want to be treated, letting your light shine before men, not judging others, turning the other cheek, loving your enemies, praying for your enemies, and doing good to your enemies. In fact, Mahatma Gandhi's quote comes to mind.

Also I really don't care much for what Gandhi had to say.
Nope. Thankfully most people keep to themselves around here. Plus I also never said I attended church every Sunday, did I?That's nice to know. So, I take it you don't wave to them on your way to church on Sunday.
I just don't care what a racist sexual deviant has to say.So, the image of Christ and of Christians to the outside world doesn't matter?
