For those those don’t believe it exists, define what white privilege means.

Be as detailed as you want. But define it. Don’t give examples. Define it.

Chopstickchakra defines it as:
White privilege is the universal control, preference, and dominance of phenotypical white people.

Elodin defines it as:
A government tool to turns frogs gay.

SalamanderUnchiha defines it as:
A term that only exists if given itself meaning prior to its own existence.

Sdkljfsdjnsjnoids defines it as:
The normalization given to white people in a society.

PT1990 defines it as:
What is mistaken for wealth privilege.

Minamoto teh first defines it as:
A standard of leniency that white people have that other groups don’t.

I would define it as things being normalized cus you are white.
Like if someone acts in a bad way, people might think it's ok because that person is white, but if the person had been another color people would react more harshly.
I know Eminem got critizised for his music being in bad taste, I wonder if other rappers got the same treatement or if that was cus he was white.
That's the opposite then.
I wonder if for example nationalism is looked at as something bad if it's a white person being a nationalist but if it's about countries that have been under imperialism then it's positive right?

For those who believe it does exist provide evidence of it's application universally and not just in predominately white areas settled by English/Western Europeans ancestors. If white privilege existed it would need to be universal otherwise it's not privilege based on skin tone. You can say it exists in certain areas and time periods and that is true but to claim it's a universal and permanent fixture to society just doesn't seem to have much behind it.

Well it certainly has existed, you were worth more as a human being if you were arian rather than black in the 30s.
Nowadays it wouldn't surprise me if people get away with more cus they are white.

I agree You can say it exists in certain areas and time periods and that is true It's existed here in America and in South Africa and I'm sure it's existed a lot of places colonized by the English. People need to realize though the English were discriminatory to pretty much everyone who wasn't English, just ask the Irish and Scottish, even though they had white skin they were still refused jobs etc.

This couldn't be more true. This is why Germany is so cucked, and has no nationalistic backbone. You'll have something happen as cucked as Angela Merkel being disgusted at the slightest sign of nationalistic pride as a product of how imperialistic Germany was in the early 1900s.


Go to any afro-hispanic country in the Caribbean and nearly everyone has national pride, to a chauvinist extent. My parents for one can't stop bragging about the DR, or Turks, or Haiti, and can't help shit all over America in the process (while simultaneously migrating to America for a "better life").

I think you're conflating nationalism with patriotism. There's nothing wrong with being patriotic (having pride in one's country for their achievements, culture, etc.) whilst nationalism generally refers to extreme patriotism where people believe their countries are superior and exist above the needs of other countries and other people simply because they have a different flag.

Ehhh, it's really not white privilege so much as there being less lenience for pretty much everyone else. Ideally, everyone should have white privilege, which I see as just a basic acknowledgment that this white person is his own without the baggage of others until shown otherwise. I don't see it as a preference for whites, but an infectious distaste for most else.
