If anything, white females are a privileged class.
- tasty_freeze 3y agoBeing privileged doesn't mean one's life has no hardship. There are plenty of poor, white men, and Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire. The way to think about it is take one of those poor white men and imagine he is black while the other things (wealth, schooling, location, etc) remain constant. While anything might happen, statistically that person's outcome would be worse as a black poor man than as a white poor man.
- Racing0461 3y agoYeah but that isn't because of race. Replacing the race doesn't work with asian men nor black men that come from africa as 0th gen/1st gen immigrants. This is uniquely an african american problem suggesting alternative reasoning (culture, education/values etc).
- threadweaver34 3y agoI'm a solid white male engineer at a FAANG. If I were a woman, the company would bend over backwards to make sure I advance. 80th percentile as a male, they're happy to keep me, but investing in me isn't a priority.
