Crying "racist" has jumped the shark.

Clearly jackbot is the only person that knows what privilege is

So please tell us what it is jackbot

A white boy who grew up in a single wide trailer with a meth addicted single mother is CLEARLY more privileged than Obama's two daughters. All the white kid has to do is show up to any place of employment and cash in his white, male privilege and he will be given the job of CEO.

Wouldn't account for any of what I mentioned specifically. In fact, the Asian example makes my point. If you compare Asians and whites with the same level of educational attainment, whites earn more.

Honestly curious, do have a source for that?

Dumb response. Shocking that LI doesn't see the problem. Wouldn't we all agree that someone seriously responding to "left-handed hitters do worse against left-handed pitchers" with "clearly, you'd rather have the right-handed batboy facing a lefty than prime Barry Bonds." is literally retarded? I think we would agree, but since some of you are so blinded by hostility to blacks, you let an equivalent statement through without realizing how poor the reasoning is.

Actually, that post states that Asian women make more money than Caucasian women when both hold a college degree, and White men earn more than Asian men in the same circumstance. Austin claims fairly small differences with no information regarding error margins (even though the CPS provides them).

Let's take a look at Median Weekly Earnings for Bachelor's Degree for 2014:

All: $1,101
White: $1,132
Asian: $1,149
Black: $895

What about advanced degrees?
Here it is for 2014:

All: $1,386
White: $1,390
Asian: $1,562
Black: $1,149

The only area where Whites earn significantly more than their Asian countrymen with identical education levels is the High School Diploma with No College ($696 vs. $604).

Source (includes Men/Women comparison as well as numbers for Hispanic):
http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2015/me...ucation-gender-race-and-ethnicity-in-2014.htm

Note that the EPI chose to exclude a segment of "White" people, while not accounting for similar distinctions among "Asians". (That is to say, the data exclude "White Hispanic" individuals, but do not exclude, for example, "Southeast Asians").

It is also fair to claim educational achievement as a form of "privilege", similar to the fashion that high school completion (or more frequently, failure to complete) is cited. Dismissing the 20% difference (as the author does) is perhaps a little misleading, as it is a cornerstone in many arguments for policy implementation regarding "race".

Further, though this is not present in Mr. Austin's blog post, Asian Americans have grown wealth (measured as assets, liquidity, & debt management) a much higher percentage than Whites over the past quarter century. ~3% gained by Whites versus ~42% for Asians. (If anyone is curious, Black income is essentially flat over the same period, no real growth).

He also ignores other measures that do not give the desired image, such as Poverty Rate comparisons.
Here is the relevant data from 07-11:

White (non-Hispanic): 11.6%
Asian: 11.7%
Black: 25.6%
+/- .1% (.90)

https://www.census.gov/prod/2013pubs/acsbr11-17.pdf

Don't neglect unemployment rates. The most recent 3 months available:

Dec 15
White: 4.5%
Asian: 4.0%
Black: 8.3%

Jan 16
White: 4.3%
Asian: 3.7%
Black: 8.8%

Feb 16
White: 4.3%
Asian: 3.8%
Black: 8.8%

No error information provided.
The participation rate of Asian & White are about equal (60%), with Black a bit lower (56%).

To finish, the EPI is generally not considered a centrist organization. They are generally acknowledged as one of the most left-leaning organizations in economics. Here is a study summarized by Harvard Economics Professor Robert J. Barro (emphasis mine):
"... tendency of Senate and House members in their speeches to cite 200 prominent think tanks. The citations considered were those that referred favorably to a view or fact presented by a think tank. Not counted were negative citations or those purely descriptive of a think tank's actions. As an example, the Heritage Foundation was cited by legislators whose average ADA ratings were 6 -- that is, very conservative. Also highly conservative were the Family Research Council (rating of 6) and the National Right to Life Committee (7). Left-wing think tanks included the Center on Budget & Policy Priorities (80), the Children's Defense Fund (77), and the Economic Policy Institute (72). Surprisingly, the American Civil Liberties Union was centrist (35), an outcome driven by the ACLU's opposition to campaign-finance reform".

The Census Bureau agrees with you, but I suspect this is racist because it runs contrary to the narrative.

The hate and racism towards white people will never go away. It's going to get so much worse as their countries are flooded with non European immigrants.

Progressives and racists are robotic imbeciles too stupid to comprehend what they're doing.

 

[Thurisaz]

You say it like you thought labeling people with scary words was ever legit.

 

[CaSe]

meh, Asians that I know assimilate, work and don't look for handouts.

 

[InternetHero]

Long, long ago... when rightly not judging people by the color of their skin was forced into a shotgun wedding with never criticizing a shit culture.

 

[JbModest]

i think saying "jumped the shark" has jumped the shark.

"White Privilege" is a loaded word that represents a terrible lie.

I will irrefutably explain why in a few simple ways.

1. White privilege puts a racist label on what is a cultural idea.

A. "white privilege" just means "white dominant culture" just as in India, Indian culture might be called "Hindu centric culture" or similar rubbish.

Any culture has a dominant culture .

2. This is why in a multicultural nation like the USA a group like Asian or Latin American people might have more success because their values are closer to the "white" values.

If you want to see how the divisive scourge of "white privilege" works, here is your analogy:

Example - We have a respectable black gentleman named John

John does action A - He "acts" like a "white" person and speaks in the dominant cultural way, dresses like other white Americans, and follows their cultural traits... he will almost certainly be successful in "white culture,"

But, he will almost certainly be vilified in "black culture" as a "sellout" or other awful label.

John does action B - He "acts" like a "true" black person and speaks in the dominant cultural ways of an inner city black American... he will almost certainly not be successful in "white culture," unless the dominant white culture gets him a scholarship to Brown University where he receives tenure for his radical "true" black views.



What a lie the left is selling the Western World...


How about an even simpler formula?

White Privilege = Dominant White "values" In America

Racism = "I do not like your skin color"

Labeling xenophobia or anti-cultural terms as RACISM is lying to everyone.


If the left dared called it "CULTURAL DISPARITY!" instead of "RACISM!" it would not fire up the masses of followers who want to believe and feel the modern world is racist and stacked against them.


The next time someone mentions the loaded lie of "white privilege" to you correct them with the truth of "white culture" or better yet "dominant culture", then you can freely talk about differences in society and culture again.

Dominant culture here is based on and born of racism. You write as if it's separate when it's really evolved. But I admit that our ability to even have this conversation in our culture is a strong sign of progress. This is what it looks like when America ends slavery and apartheid for real, shit is not easy.
