[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't agree that white men have such a positive image. Any history book that was written since around the 1970s is basically a catalog of How YT Effed Everything Up. Old White Males are probably the most hated demographic in the world and are used as the scapegoat for basically all modern social ills by various groups and world leaders.[/quote]

Maybe so, but white men are still more beloved and sought after by women worldwide than anyone else.  Can't knock the hustle.[/quote]

Sought after, maybe. Beloved? I don't know.

[b]Money talks. That's the "secret."[/b] White guys are "sought after" because of the perception that they have money and "privilege." If Filipino men had a reputation for being rich and powerful and controlling the world, then women would be after Filipinos. When white males stop having money and power we'll see how beloved and sought after we are.[/quote]

Yup, that's it. In the U.S. because of history, institutions, laws, policy and a host of other bullshit, white men are and have been privileged. If and when things change, you will see more diversity in many areas, more eligible gentlemen of all hues, and the corresponding ratio of assholes in all stripes.  So, all women be forewarned...[/quote]

Do you believe the stupid shit that comes out of your mouth? You view white men through a uniform lens, which is, by definition, racist. You choose to believe white men have some special privilege. As a white man, I see scholarships and work opportunities that are for minorities only. From my perspective, I have to wonder why these opportunities go largely unused. If you'll excuse the pun, the shit ain't so black and white as you want to believe.[/quote]

If you were smarter, you could've done some reading up on American history to understand why affirmative action and minority scholarships don't constitute privilege equivalent to white privilege. But you aren't, so you won't.[/quote]

But here again you're making a blanket statement that all white men have advantages. Some do, many don't. That's the inherent racism; to assume that a white man walks a path paved with gold because he's white, while a black man has no real chance because he's black. This simply isn't true. [/quote]

The point isn't that you walk a path paved with gold. The point is that whatever path you're walking, if you weren't white, the path would be much, much thornier.

I'm a white guy who worked incredibly hard for what I've gotten -- parents weren't well off, worked my way through school finishing a master's by age 22, 80 hour weeks and living frugally to make a really solid life for myself.[b] A lot of wealthy non-white kids I know have had it far easier and gotten farther while doing less. Doesn't matter -- the point is that a non-white kid in my shoes would have had a much rougher time than I did[/b].[/quote]

How is this not contradictory? [/quote]
He means that a nonwhite kid from a humble background trying to get an education and a career going will have a rougher time than a white kid from a humble background on the same quest. Not that every single white person has it easier than eery single black person.  Controlled for socioeconomic factors, black kids have it harder than white kids in the same SES circumstances.[/quote]
