[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, in western culture there is White privilege. In eastern culture there is Asian privilege. Why is that?

In the Middle East, there is rich male, Muslim privilege. Why is that?

In India there are castes, with certain castes having much greater privilege than others. Why is that?

Why is there ever privilege and why does it persist?

Answering this question and then pursuing in the manner by which those groups gained their privilege is the only way another group’s status will rise.  I can tell you that none of those groups became privileged by having an affirmative action program. AA programs inherently say the following, without admitting it, “you’re not as good as the rest of us, so we’re going to give you an unfair paper advantage, based not on merit but on a natural born trait.”  This does two things: it reinforces to the oppressed that they are not considered equal and cannot compete on level terms and makes the privileged class resent the underprivileged even more. While it may have some success stories, it has a net negative affect overall. [/quote]

How dare you compare Whitness and its violence to social issues in the Middle East and India?!?   Where is the Lebanese Empire?  The Indian colonies?  Are their slaves in Iraq?   Who is more likely to be assaulted, a young woman in Manhattan or Riyadh?

White culture = Violence[/quote]

“Social issues,” hah!    These are strong economic forces that keep others in a subservient role.  When Saudi women were permitted to drive, the first concern was for the Bangladeshi drivers who had been brought into the country as drivers for women. Why weren’t Saudi men used as drivers?   
Why does the cream on India go to the best US med schools and lesser castes go to Bangalore call centers and downward to the beggars.

White violence is more than comparable to Indian violence particularly toward women

And there is no violence in Riyadh toward women?  Unless you count stoning, divorce because a man is tired of you, and forcing no yiusekf into s black shroud to do to work

Get off your obsession with white privileged and violence toward women and learn about worldwide oruvikege.  Good place may be the Robert Mygabe funeral and what he did to his own people. [/quote]
