But he has privilege, and she doesn't.
- TheMagicHorsey 4y agoYeah, but why are Chinese considered privileged now, when before they were not?
- mbg721 4y agoBecause when they were mostly poor railroad workers, they were easily manipulated, and now that they're middle-class professionals, they aren't?
- TheMagicHorsey 4y agoHow did that happen if America is so systematically racist that races can't get ahead on their own without positive discrimination?
- mbg721 4y agoWe're only racist with an eye toward particular races. Allegedly.
- tomrod 4y agoMy understanding of people claiming privilege is that, under ceterus paribus ("all else equal") assumptions, certain groups have worse socioeconomic outcomes than others. The hypothetical here doesn't match that.
