again. Stereotyping is when you say this is how a person is. Describing white privilege is describing how a person is treated by society. They're different.

- mc32 6y agoSociety isn’t homogeneous. How I’m treated in my neighborhood isn’t the same as another one or another country. Yes, on average, if you belong to certain group and display certain signifiers (positive or negative) those will elicit certain responses —but they’re not universal. If you’re a middle class kid (on average) and you go to an ethnic business (that’s outside your ethnicity) that hires people of lesser means and you apply for a job, you’re likely to lose out to someone of the same stratum as the rest of the employees (they may think you’re out of place, you wouldn’t take it serious, you’d want more money, who knows...)
- zemo 6y agothis is one of the dumbest and most poorly-concocted imaginary scenarios I've ever heard. Reverse racism does not exist. Grow up.
- mc32 6y agoNo one said this scenario was racist. What I’m saying is outside you social circle whatever cachet you think you carry due to whatever membership you have falls off.
