It's like if you go to Japan or China or India or any country really and discover that the majority ethnic population has the most opportunities.
But when the same thing is discovered in white western countries, in spite of generations of laws designed to fight it-- then it's a complete travesty that requires the entire civilization to be dismantled and replaced with something that will somehow manage to be more fair
Privilege is the obligation to stay quiet after having to constantly give things up to avoid making someone else feel un-special. Interview for a job or contract? The law says someone else gets it. College admission? Sorry, seat's taken. New streaming TV series you can relate to? Haha, get lost.
As an Indian, this is what I believe white privilege means :
A person who is envious, covetous, apathetic, lazy, immoral, and who has made poor life decisions sees a white man/woman/community living better and more fulfilled lives so said person tries to pin the blame on them using made up bullshit called muh white privilege rather than accept their own mistakes and work on themselves to be better.
They'd have to give up pretty much everything they find "enjoyable" now and work hard, to do that though, most people would prefer to complain, and with the ridiculous weaponizing of racial politics, this shit could really go downhill.
It already is going downhill. All the libtards like J K Rowling got eaten alive for that stop cancel culture article. Hollywood did something similar warning how middle aged white actors are going to find a very restrictive work environment and meagre opportunities to work in movies.
The Left has basically weaponized racism against whites and made it acceptable. They even rewrote the definition of racism to some bullshit about it being only racism if you are in a "position of power".
But your point still stands. They'll keep upping the rule book. White Privilege today. Brahmin Privilege the day after. Jewish Privilege coming up day after tomorrow.
That's the thing though, in India, that's LITERALLY HOW IT IS, and it's state sanctioned. Like, codified in employment and education policies. You can be discriminated against on the basis of basically your family name.
People who think America has this systematic oppression... NO, but these other countries today do.
For some reason, Muslims are considered as OBC (Other Backward Classes) and are eligible for reservations but if you're born a Christian and you're not Latin Catholic or Roman Catholic, you don't get anything. You are stuck with General category.
The most retarded thing is Latin Catholicism and Roman Catholicism is treated as castes in India. When did Christianity have the caste system? When did Islam have a caste system? Only Hinduism had a caste system.
The second largest religion followed in India is Islam. Latin and Roman Catholics are some of the biggest denominations of Christianity in the world. Under what basis are they considering them as OBC in India? It makes no sense.
The caste system is the reason why our government is so corrupt. Because of these so called "reservations", people who are unfit to serve in government are the ones in it. A true death of meritocracy. The caste system is such a mess that even the Supreme Court Of India said that it was the curse of the country. I agree. People don't wanna give up the benefits they get from reservations.
As an NRI that moved to India awhile back, I realised that Americans (including myself at one point) have no clue what systematic oppression is.
India's reservations is the perfect example for what will happen to America when stuff like accommodations hit the extreme.
Although there is admittedly some flaws in the system that's in place in the US, to extrapolate it as a mass-issue is ridiculous at best. It's more like some drops in the bucket, and if you work smart, and you can avoid those too.
What does you being Indian have anything to do with your opinion.
You are just signaling that you are not a threat.
H-1B abuse is a complete threat to American Engineers. I don't believe your forthrightness for a goddamn second.
Trump is limiting your H-1B abuse pipelines and you are scared. Don't come to .win just to virtue signal and try to sway people to support your nefarious means.
Identity politics don't mean shit here. We are wise to you snakes in the grass. You cannot trick our blue collar workers into selling out our white collar workers.
AMERICANS ARE FOR AMERICANS FIRST. GO MAKE YOUR OWN COUNTRY GREAT IF YOU SO STEADFASTLY IDENTIFY WITH IT.
H1B is a threat to American engineers, I agree. Indians who are working on contract in America do not return back to India when their contract is up and instead disappear off in sanctuary states.
America is for Americans first, I agree with that too. Nothing wrong about that. If Japan is for Japanese, India is for Indians, then there's nothing wrong with America being for Americans first.
As for why I'm saying my identity is Indian - I'm not American. I don't live in America. I'm an Indian living in India.
I am not a snake, and I'm not here to trick any blue collar or white collar Americans. I came to win because I've been using The_Donald for four years because here, I get the news straight, the memes are spicy, and because I support the Right under Trump.
For what parts actually exist, and its far less than people talk, its simple majority bias. Any place will be biased towards its majority.
If you live in the Projects, nearly everything local will be biased towards black folks. If you live in South America, things will probably be Hispanic in many ways (Brazil isn't real).
Trying to combat that is to undo basic logic and human instinct. The most you can do is try to be fair, and right now we go above and beyond that in many ways.
At work I see that white man are the last to be picked and the first to be fired if they need to cut costs.
I see online discussions being shut down because one is white.
I see being accepted to say mildly racist things about whites while you are not allowed to comment (even at work during work hours). I no longer go to the office fortunately.
One of my ex-employers officially has higher standards to hire for white and asians and lower for black people.
If this is how privilege works then I think we need another change in definition.
It started with people being racist then we became color blind. Color blindness was good for everyone and it was a great foundation to build upon a healthy diverse society. However this was bad for political business, we just can't have people judged based on their character since you need actual reasoning instead of tribalism to win votes. So here we are being separated in to races with whites being the evil ones hence their privilege.
Most arguments for white privilege can be made for people born in a poor state / city / area and someone born in an area with opportunities. So rather then help everyone overcome their start like having uneducated parents, no money, single parent etc. we have a system in place to help based on level of melanin.
Someone on the left decided fuck poor white people and lets make things harder for average white guy. We are in a time that if you are the son of an attorney or doctor but have the correct level of melanin you can get ahead of a poor white guy that is working his ass off while being told he is privileged.

I saw this trainwreck coming years ago.
The left, or more precisely, the globalist communists, using the same tactics they've always used.
Self hating white liberals to be exact.
Oh, you're a poor Brahmin? Well fuck you, you have Brahmin privilege and this quota says we need more non-Brahmins.
I'm not Hindu lol
But your point still stands. They'll keep upping the rule book. White Privilege today. Brahmin Privilege the day after. Jewish Privilege coming up day after tomorrow.

Not just family name but also by religion.

The whole system is a mess.

Part of me is very glad I chose to work for myself, even if it was very, very lonely and long hours for years.
Its not white privilege, its white reputation, and it is earned.
