Another fascinating Duchess post.

A Great Wall of Text followed by a charge of racism. 😴 😴 😴

I most certainly do not condone anti-Asian discrimination.

And I most certainly condemn people shooting people just because they are Asian (or whatever else they could be).

However, if Asian privilige is a myth and you attack me for saying white privilege is a myth... it just doesn’t compute.

Asian privilege is racist claptrap.
White privilege is racist claptrap.

And that, I’m agraid, is the non-PC truth of it all.

"Asian privilege is racist claptrap.
White privilege is racist claptrap."

How non-PC of you.

"In all probability,
a multitude of factors – racism, misogyny, religious belief, personal inadequacies –
coalesced in suspect Robert Aaron Long’s alleged murderous rampage."

did you miss his confession? He did kill them because of their race, he killed them because of their occupation. He was a self admitted sex addict and hated himself and them.

Hahaha we knew it wouldn’t belong before a racist jumped up to defend this racist piece of 💩 murderer.
Was he addicted to having sex with Asian women? The poor man no wonder he killed eight women and targeted Asian massage parlours. Sex addict pfft
This is the result of sustained anti Asian sentiment running riot through the American right wing community .
It’s not about who deranged men kill it’s about who they get permission to kill from the prevailing attitudes of their host community. Take some fing responsibility.

Just to clear it up, is there a "Jewish privilege"?

I think that's a stupid term. It implies that whites are normally well-off and provided for, which would infuriate financially strapped whites.

My biggest problem with the term is that it also implies that whites being successful is the problem, when that's not the issue. The problem is how majority-white societies tend to be structured in ways that oppress minorities, especially in the U.S. The term "white oppression" is more accurate.

"White privilege" is a stupid term because any majority, regardless of race, experiences "privilege" compared to minorities. In China, you could complain about "Chinese privilege" if you're a minority, especially you're Muslim.

Good point, Viv.

Do the Jews in China experience "Jewish Privilege", or does all privilege go to Han only?

Hey, the people that invented "white privilege" opened up a can of whoop ass
