It's not that you have a privilege, it's that others have it harder than you. They're playing hard mode while you're playing normal mode.
MeatSparkles
A lot of 'privilege' is more like good circumstance based on your parents actions imo. Then its up to you to take advantage or sink.

I'm a gay white male and I'm very aware of how privileged I am. Stop fucking whining.
meeperton
Part of your privilege was getting to the front page with this mess

Here's an example: Despite having explained the concept to you several times, you still go on feeling like you're being persecuted anyway
doucher
I'm a good looking white male but I have a very painful ingrown toe nail. What do I do??
InfinityAero
Yeah, now imagine how shitty your life would be if you weren't playing on easy mode...
whyteraven74
OP go talk to a black person who grew up in a slum, until then shut the fuck up.
teuro
Privilege blinds you from seeing how bad others have it. Also it's like saying there's no global warming since the weather here is cold.
zootrose
In equality
Kamica
That's the great thing about privilege, if you have it, you don't realise it =D.
Kamica
Us straight white men are most of the time better off than others, there are always exceptions though, which people should take into account
bloodflavoredcornsyrup
Hurrrump!!
Kiore
There's always people who lose the game on easy mode.
SenatorHillaryIAmStillInTheRaceClinton
Taking broad sociological trends and then assuming that they apply to every member of a population is prejudice, pure and simple.
ICommentLikeDonaldTrumpSpeaks
@OP, I will make Imgur GREAT again. I'll get you SO much privilege you'll have it coming out of your eyes, your everywhere.

Imagine it's like dice. Rolling a 1 is a failure. The higher you roll the better. You're a d10 vs people who are d4-d8. Rich are d12-d20.
djordi
You can still get a bad roll, even with better dice. You're just more likely to get a good roll. Some people can never get a good roll.
TestAccount321
Here's an example: On this very website, you'll seldom find a post about how terrible white males are on the front page. Whereas if you're
TestAccount321
black, female and/or transgender, you'll find numerous posts about how awful you are, or some joke about how you're a subhuman. You'll also
TestAccount321
find that the moderation staff are slow to take a move against said posts.
Deadbabymammal
Im hispanic, I was told there would be affirmative action...
tardis63
Affirmative action was a poor answer to a real problem. It created more opportunities for those already near the top, not less fortunate.

Join a construction crew you will get picked up asap....its shitty work though....but good money.

Have you tried yelling ariba ariba and running really fast? You could probably get a scholarship for track and field.

Yo también, ¿donde está el privilegio?

I'm black, was told the same thing...
ArcaneConjecture
If you're Black it's easier to get into college, or get a job as a cop or fireman. You get screwed over everywhere else, tho.

Someone is lying to all of us.

Here's an example: Despite being awful people, there are white supremacists controlling the highest powers in America's government. Voted in

by a large white majority. You don't have to worry about the idea of them trying to sap your rights away because of your race.
YourThoughtsOnTransgenderIssuesAreReallyReallyImportantToMe
This is the societal equivalent of saying climate change isn't real because it's cold where you are right now.
flarflarf
the fact that basically virtually every C-level exec and federal elected official is white is just a weird coincidence.
UrKungFuNoGood
"fact" stfu here's my county http://www.elections.saccounty.net/ElectionInformation/Pages/ElectedReps.aspx

Those arent federal elected officials tho
ImHereForTheCera123MeltSteelBeams
And I can tell you the primary reason isn't racism
flarflarf
I didnt say anything about racism
ImHereForTheCera123MeltSteelBeams
You implied it, like very heavily man. Work on your writing ability please if you really didn't mean it.
flarflarf
White privilege can be disjoint from racism.
flarflarf
Privilege comes from a lot of places. Centuries of material wealth can be founded on slavery and theft, but the inheritor may not be racist.
DrLivingstoneIpresume
Nah, I am white dude who has applied to the same damn position 14 times over the last three years. Didn't get it. But the plan B still (1/2)
DrLivingstoneIpresume
(2/2) lands me in the top 10% nationally and 1% globally. Hardship is defined by where you start. At least I got to start in the middle.
gamerdrew
And you really don't think that more white people get to start a litter higher?
HopeHubris
I do think that's what they're saying
DrLivingstoneIpresume
On average they absolutely do, hence my point.
gamerdrew
I mistook your meaning. My apologies.

I cringe everytime this is reposted. Privilage is the absence of a constant hate directed at u. u dont feel privilege b/c thats how it works
earlywormy
Privilege is defined as a special advantage or immunity. A privilege can be taken away. A driving license is a privilege being white is not.
LostLogic12
Lol
chrisharddick
I see more minorities hating on white people than I do whites hating on minorities.
Mimsey
By that logic virtually everyone is privileged and guys like Trump are disprivileged. Think this through.
tep4
hate from things out of your control. didnt have enough charecter, thought this was clearly about race, but
Mimsey
According to privilege theory, race is only one of a multitude of dimensions one's life experiences are woven across. [1]
Mimsey
Because if they did, there would be a lot fewer people on imgur identifying as feminist. [3]
Mimsey
But then again, I don't expect hardly anyone on imgur to actually know anything about the academics behind feminism. [2]
inhaledthewrongkindofcoke
go to a predominantly asian bar.
TwoManyPuppies
Probably the last type of bar id attend. Why waste your time. if that's your thing,back page exists and it's roaded with em

Well, if you are somewhat attractive you can get married winthin a couple months of moving to China.

Somewhat attractive? *checks out mirror* Dammit...

You can also die in a couple of years due to horrid breathing air, really China just accelerates your life

ruferto
you don't even have to go to china. any predominantly asian bar in a major city will net you a fair share of success
DamianWinters
wait why asian bars?
ruferto
white men w/ asian women is the highest percent of interracial couples. take from that what you will.

Can you marry rich? And is Japan an option? Answer me anonymous matchmaker

Maybe not both, but yes. (Also, search for "gaijin bar")

Years ago a cook I worked told me that Asian women have 3 holes. I don't believe him, but have never been with an Asian woman either...
DamianWinters
every woman has 3 holes... is this some weird joke im not getting?
