I agree, but I don't think it's any more unfortunate than not having a Chinese name in China, Indian name in India, etc. Humans are inherently risk averse, and cultural conformity is an upshot of that. To penalize or otherwise persecute "white males" for having and participating in a culture seems unjust.
- bbctol 10y agoSo you're saying we live in a culture that arbitrarily benefits white men, and thus it would be unjust to not arbitrarily benefit them.
- reader5000 10y agoI dont know what you think culture is, but to me culture is just how people generally behave in a particular area, so yes white men generally try to behave in a way that benefits them. Is this wrong?
- jakelazaroff 10y agoTo be clear: you are saying that it is not unjust to penalize women and people of color for no reason other than the fact that they're not white men, but it is unjust to penalize white men to compensate for that.
