In reply to the discussion: Tackling Asian Privilege [View all]TreasonousBastard
(43,049 posts)what was on the mind of the original writer. What he wrote, however, is stereotyping that pops up all the time in a serious tone. My first thought is that he wrote it (copied it, more likely) in some lame attempt to show that white privilege is largely irrelevant. Comedy or drama, yes, the same result is expected.
Well, "agrees with" covers lot of territory. White privilege doesn't exist? Exists but isn't as big a problem as some think it is? Is a problem, but too many people use it as an excuse to promote their own agenda? Exists, but please just shut up about it? We're both guessing about why he posted it.
Truth is, it was just some excellent trolling. It got attacked from every angle, and a whole bunch of people got off on seeing their own issues in that one post and sounding off on them. More posts about the thread in the Hosts forum than there were in the Hosts forum thread!
There is humor in that.
