On White Privilege

14th June 2012

Jehu is not afraid to ask the obvious questions.

If you’re a URM (Under-represented minority), and we can plausibly delude ourselves that you MIGHT be adequate to the task, we are ALWAYS hiring.  You’ll find this true of most companies.  So where’s the white privilege?

Oh, I hear you saying, but white people have an easier time getting the necessary credential—you hire pretty much just STEM MS and PhD holders right?

Do you really want to go there?  You’ll find that as a minority of the non-Asian variety, your ability to get accepted into graduate school, and more importantly, to get a full ride there is vastly enhanced.  So where’s the white privilege?

    I say we go back to the days of Jim Crow, when Wogs and Kaffirs knew their place.

    That’s because you’re a liberal fascist.

    And you’re a neo-Calvinist. So what’s your point?

    What I want to know is, if I’m so privileged, why do I still have to work for a living? Come on, if I’m supposed to be part of the oppressive overclass, when do I get to start oppressing?
