It's not encoding any useful information other than your racist assumptions. The only difference between "privilege" and "white privilege" is a pointless correlation. What extra information can you possibly think it provides besides information about the person that uses it.
Would you be comfortable with saying that someone who is committing a crime is "acting black" because black people have a higher prison enrollment?
- rancur 11y ago'acting black' yes that would be racist, because that's speaking of the individual. 'privilege' speaks not to one's own decisions, but one's own environment. I'm disappointed. I thought abuse of the term 'racism' required greater sleight of hand. I'm only just starting to understand it
- hueving 11y ago>'acting black' yes that would be racist, because that's speaking of the individual. This criteria is nonsense. If you have an asian guy committing a crime and you say he's acting black because he didn't get enough white privilege, both of those components are racist. His crime and his relative privilege level have nothing to do with his skin color.
