"Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is"

[ehrnst]

387. Let me simplify it for you.

"White people in North America" also own most of the homes in North America. But do all white people in America own homes? No.

"White people in North America" are the ones who supported Trump. Did all white people in North America support Trump? No.

"White people in North America" have cultural advantages (the benefit of the doubt in police stops, access to higher paying jobs, etc) that POC in the North America don't have. Does each and every White person in North America have cultural advantages over every single POC in North America? No.

Irish citizens voted to decriminalise abortions. Did every Irish citizen vote to decriminalise abortions? No.

And no, I never inferred it. You needed a reason to attack a post that cited a scholar that refuted your veiws on white privilege, so you misrepresented and generalized it to a point where you could portray *me* as attacking "the white people on DU," using ad Hominen, false dillemas and strawmen.

No one is trying to "have it both ways" except you, who project your own fallacies on others. As someone who actually said that being "an outsider" in part as a white man, are credentials to whitesplain to POC in the U.S. you seem to be very triggered by an OP written by another white man. Your giddy derision of me providing backup for my claims rebutting your posts, and showing that your posts are very typical of white men derailing discussions with POC, and the definition of White Privilege simply magnify the fact that you have nothing to back your claims up, except that they come from a white man. Which is why you deflect so desperately when they are presented.

I hope that clarifies things for you.

You're welcome.
