Thread: Anti-Prejudice Prejudice?

ChaosTheChosenOne said i like the idea of this scholarship. It's gotten to the point that everyone BUT white males, what I am get extra help. But seriously, white males have to work three times as hard as everyone else and still don't get promotions just so companies can save face. I guess my problem, like others, is being a white male who did not get straight A's and having a lack of real job experience, I have a seriously harder time getting ahead in life just because I am considered a majority, although I doubt we are anymore. Sigh, I wish I could add more intelligence to this conversation. Click to expand... I have quoted what I deemed important. You have to realize what privileges Caucasians get in the Western world. There are many, many more than people of different racesethnicities get. As a male You may dress nearly however you want and not be considered a slut. You may be in a position of authority and not considered a bitch, having slept your way to get there, or unfit. if you are heterosexual You may speak about your romanticsex life and not be seen as less of a person. You are MORE likely to be promoted if you have a child. You may walk alone at night relatively fear free. You are more likely to be given cheaper prices at male-centric stores car shops, outdoor stores, certain shoes, etc. Your descriptor word Mister does not denote ownership or class the way Miss young, unmarried, Misses old, unmarried, or Mrs. any, married does. White You will get better prices on bank loans and easier time with credit. You are much more likely to get higher positions in top companies if you work in them. You have access to more old X clubs as many are still predominantly caucasian. You are not seen as uneducatable, a lost cause, a criminal, or a rapist by your skin color alone. You have no common? racist jokes about you. If you do, please tell me! Your culture is the dominant and thus correct culture where you live. You are the standard of beauty that everyone is held to. Your skin color is called flesh in makeup. You can get a loan much more easily. You are the norm. In the west you are the majority. Yes, world wide white people are a minority. In the west, especially Europe, US, and Canada, we are the majority. I say we even though I am a mixed breed because I look predominantly white and, honestly, I'm damn glad I do because it grants me privileges that looking Asian would not get me. In the Fortune Fivehundred Companies, there are currently four African american CEOs, Two Asian CEOS, and Two Hispanic ones, along with five females. Of those females 3 are either african american, asian, or hispanic, bringing the total of non-white male CEOs in those companies down to 7. Yes, it is hard in the world. But in the west people without white skin tone, and women, face discrimination much harder than you do. Often much harder than I do if I stay silent. As a mixed breed gay male I am a two strike rule that can become a one strike rule if I shut my trap about being Asian. Yes, if I LIE about my ethnicity, I can basically fit in. If I lie about my sexuality I could do much better. If you are a heterosexual white male living in the US is much easier. Yes, you may not be the richest person ever, yes you may get passed up by minorities, but to bitch about it is stupid. The reason there aren't any white male scholarships is that, in general, white men don't NEED them for being white males. White males aren't born primarily in poverty. White males don't have a 52 chance to be raised by neither of their parents like native americans do, white males aren't the largest population in prison, white males aren't scapegoats used for the economic crisis. If you want to bitch about jobs bitch about the companies that send all the work over to third world countries where they can get away with cheaper labor. THAT is why there are fewer jobs over here and why so many jobs closed down. Not because of Mexican immigrants, not because of Muslim extremists, but because of greed. In general, if the white male scholarship gets passed, who cares. Fuck, I'll sign up for it. I'm not rich and since my mother is white I'm considered white by American standards. But honestly, look around and do some research, white people don't have it hard compared to so many others. Yes, there are white people who DO have it hard, I will admit, but they themselves are a minority depending on how YOU define hard.
