I think a lot of this is based on an assumption, so if you can I would like you to provide a source of information that supports the idea that whites face as much discrimination.

I didn't say they face disadvantages I'm not in a position to make that claim, but I can say with some level of confidence they don't have advantages over the natives just because they are white. I can do some research on stats and get back to you, but I think your making a pretty foolish argument and being deliberately dense.

Okay, fine.. Uganda than, I mean seriously, being nitpicky to avoid addressing the bigger picture of the argument is pretty boring.

That's fine. I really don't know enough about the culture, but youre probably right. That doesn't really address my point though.

I imagine there's a version of White Privilege that applies to China but it would probably be called Han Privilege. And why fight the terminology when the idea is what is important, especially when the idea itself is being fought simply on the basis of terminology by whites? I don't see you fighting for the idea but also talking about terminology, I see you simply talking about the terminology. This is why it is important to specify "White", because the race in question needs to be confronted.

^Yeah, that's fine until you start having a discussion with people not from the US. The term white privilege in a global discussion or forum with people from quite a few different places in the world is pretty silly.



Yeah I thought I made it clear that I'm not denying the idea.. It's the terminology I don't like, which is all I've said.
