i actually had someone tell me i had "white privilege"....
to which i replied "only in america can someone who grew up homeless be considered 'privileged'.."
they then told me "oh well if you grew up homeless its because you missused your white privilege...."
i have never come so close to actually killing someone as i did that day.
Maaaaaaybe.....just maybe, "white privilege" is complete bullshit......and maybe if "certain peoples" actually worked a job (or two) they would be able to get ahead like us whiteys....and wouldnt have to come up with boogey man excuses to explain away their laziness and unwillingness to actually contribute to society

no shit, i could not get into the Fort Worth police department because i am white, i was told if i was black or brown no problem. This was 40 years ago too.
Mine disappeared. I have no idea where it went, and I begin to question if it was ever there in the first place.
Wait. I just found it. Thanks, OSU!

I'm white, and I am privileged......I grew up with a brother, and a sister, my single mother worked the same job for over 30 years, and had a house built for us in 1968....it cost $13,000.00. I've worked since I was 12 or 13....walked beans for .75 an hour, threw hay for .02 cents a bale...first real job I had I made $2.75 an hour. I went to college for a couple of years on grants, and loans......got married, had a child, got divorced.......spent some years riding Harley's, and doing whatever I wanted........decided I needed something different and joined the Marine Corps.......best thing I ever did.......they taught me that I could do whatever I wanted if I put my mind, and heart into it.
I remarried twenty years ago.......my wife and I are both talking about retiring, and I expect that we will have a comfortable retirement.........only because we have worked hard and saved......
Fuck these little liberal snowflakes......you get out of life, what you put into it......it doesn't matter your skin tone, your sexual preference, your height, weight, or anything else.
Get off your asses, don't expect a handout from the government, and make a life for yourself........no one is going to give it to you.....

I grew up in a middle class home, with a mom who stayed home and baked cakes on the side for fun and some cash and a dad who worked his way from accountant to senior VP of a container shipping line. On top of that my dad opened and ran his own business on the side.
My siblings and I all went to private schools and we had a "yacht" (a used 1979 38' Bertam). I even got into that bastion of white privilege that is the US Naval Academy.
I must be white-privileged as fuck.
But wait, I'm Puerto Rican. How can I be white-privileged? Am I rican-privileged?
I'm so confused.
Veer, help me out

Use Google Translate. It's an interesting read and delves into aspects of Puerto Rican dialect. And no, it isn't always easy being multicultural, but it's rewarding at times.

I am white and privileged. Mother and grandmother immigrated to the US from Ireland in the early twenties after their mother was murdered by the Black & Tans during the Easter Rebellion. Fathers side came from Dublin after the Great famine and all worked in the trades or were FDNY. Father couldn't afford college so enlisted in the AAF and flew 25 missions as a ball turret gunner in B24. Went to college and law school on the GI Bill and spent 29 years in the FBI as a SA.
Starting working when I was young mowing lawns and having a paper route sometimes delivering papers on foot in the middle of winter trouncing through 2+ feet of snow. Worked my way through college on large ranches and in the oil fields of northern NM. Hard dangerous work but paid well and taught me great life lessons.
I am privileged by the life choices I made and worked my ass off to get educated and have a successful career in construction. If any little snowflake ever calls me white privileged in my person, I will kindly explain how I became privileged after they finish wiping the dirt off the seat of their pants and wipe the tears from their delicate little eyes.

I think checking that box is a positive test for white privilege, so you'd be white privileged first, before any other sort of privilege like 'rican privilege, man privilege, CIS privilege, or whatever.
Many, if not most Indians are considered Caucasian.
However ...

Myself, I try to treat everyone like they were HUMAN. It is up to them, individually, to remove themselves from consideration. Alas, too often, way too many do so, quite quickly.
I had negative white privilege. Grew up in a white, upper middle class family, father was a lawyer, made a fair amount of money. We owned half a ski cabin, twin brother went to Yale and Stanford. The real story is that my asshole father tried to molest me, but I would not let him get near me, so he had it out for me. When I was 21 I realized he had tried half a dozen times to have me killed and was trying REAL HARD right then. When I was 16 they almost got me, tried to make it look like a climbing accident. The kid who was to have pushed me off a cliff, I saw him bounce to his death off the side of a mountain, about 70 yards to the ground.
Instead of working hard, buying a house, etc., I had to hide, keep my addresses at PO boxes for the next 40 years. Had to move from time to time as they found me occasionally. They found me when I was 46 y.o. they came to my shop 6 times to kill me. Fortunately after the second time at my business I had them figured out and was on alert. I calculate they tried to kill me about 25 times, it was like fighting Terminator for 40 years. If I was a poor white orphan it would have been so much easier. When your friends are having families, buying houses, and going on vacation; you are watching your back and practicing your pistol craft. Eventually I learned that he was offering $50,000 bounty on my head, no wonder the perps were so eager. Try living in a Terminator moving for most of your life. When I meet special snowflakes or BLM types occasionally, I just look at them as though they have no clue.

It just has to be quoted.

Nope, they would spend the money they earned, on things that don't return on investment. Cars, cloths, recreation, renting a nicer place.
My parents divorced and I traded my white privilege to live with my poor grandmother in a predominately black neighborhood in the deep south.
Well, I can play the same fucking crying game they can --I was one of a few white kids in a school with over a thousand black kids. Most were normal kids. Many weren't. Almost all of us came from poverty. But it was the white kids that got their asses beat all the time --it's where I learned to take an ass beating, that and my father. My black principal used to ask me when "my white ass turned 16 because I was out of there". Racist POS, he tried to paddle me once (for defending myself for the umpteenth time) and I had it. Told him I'd take his ass beating, then he was going to get his. Told him I knew his "Korea war wound" was actually from a ten yo girl kicking his kneecap into his stomach. He never threatened me again. That school completely let me down. I was in advanced classes prior to this school, but when I wen there, because I was white, I could no longer go. Only had so many seats. Seats were dictated by race. Despite being the minority, the law said otherwise. I quit school in 7th grade, fucked off for a while until I could get my diploma via court system (no, not a GED) and go to a real school, a university, and finally get an education. But then I couldn't get a permanent job --because I was fucking white! In all actuality, I'm part native, but my family's side didn't sign the Dawes Roll, we fought back and lost it all. DNA wasn't used to show minority status back then.
I was at the receiving end of racism my whole childhood. Through all of it, one of my best friends was black (which today, having a "black friend" shows just how racist you are; fuck them). Eric was more of a brother than a friend --I'd have had more ass beatings were it not for him. He got me riding bikes too, turned me from a fatass to an Olympic level athlete. We played GI Joes together, Nintendo and later on into clothes and girls. We even worked the same jobs. In the army, geez, I don't think any one of us were from the same breed, and who gave a fuck? These were the best people I ever knew.
White privilege got me shit-all. Veteran status, now that's actually paid off in discounts and now the same people that think I have white privilege also call me a "hero". Double fuck 'em.
Racism was almost dead, I felt, until a bunch of fucking race baiters started getting air time. Now it's getting much worse.
Racism exists in places, sure, but the overarching problem is poverty --it's money that divides, not color.
