>I'm sure most of us agree that his feelings are completely irrational and entirely his problem. So why aren't the irrational fears held by various student groups treated the same way? Oh, so you think being 4 times more likely to be killed by another white person, means that you have a similar cultural experience to the subjugated minorities who are complaining across university campuses. And because you have a white supremacy blog that tells you that you have it just as bad as everyone else, you have decided to write off all the actual concerns of real people by saying they are just complaining too much? Its really a fascinating argument. Good luck convincing anyone else who does not already agree with it.

...similar cultural experience... No one besides you is discussing a cultural experience. The rest of us are discussing irrational reasons for fearing for one's physical safety. ...white supremacy blog that tells you that you have it just as bad as everyone else... The blog doesn't claim this, nor does the DOJ data table which it reproduces. Its really a fascinating argument. You have indeed invented an interesting argument.

  >No one besides you is discussing a cultural experience. Oh sorry, is that a trigger word for you? Let me instead say you are mistakenly claiming that the dangers faced by straight while christian males is of equivalent or greater danger than those faced by minorities. >The blog doesn't claim this, nor does the DOJ data table which it reproduces. No, but you are using that blog entry as evidence to support that claim. Heres how the conversation went: maaku said: > The concern is not feelings getting hurt, but rather physical security as a person of minority status. >This is something that a white heterosexual middle-class male (such as myself) can probably never fully appreciate, but I try to sympathize. To which you responded: >Actually white heterosexual middle class males can totally appreciate these things. Using the source you linked as your evidence for that fact that straight white males have the same concern for physical security as minorities. You further explained that whites, asians, and christians are in a position to be equally fearful for their safety as blacks, women, and other minorities. Using this evidence, you closed your argument by saying: >I'm sure most of us agree that his feelings are completely irrational and entirely his problem. So why aren't the irrational fears held by various student groups treated the same way? A dismissal of the complaints of minorities which you have written off by attempting to make an argument that straight white males have it just as bad as minorities, and thus if straight white males arent complaining, minorities have nothing more to complain about and should therefore shut up. If you have a different argument to make, i would love to hear it. EDIT: I see you instead decided to downvote each of these comments, so i'll just assume you indeed did not have a different argument to make. Thanks for the discussion anyways, have a good one!
