Is that really intended as some kind of 'proof'? There are so many things wrong with that claim I don't even know where to begin.. The numbers of various racial backgrounds is absolutely irrelevant. I can name several countries where the white minority has all the power and the indigenous majority has none and suffers all the oppression, discrimination and racism. That's what we call colonialism.
Policies usually exist within countries. That's where they are created and that's where they are enforced. And it's clear that numbers are meaningless. So the only thing your link tells me is that there are more non Caucasians than Caucasians in the world. Whoopdeedoo. We're talking about power, money - both current and historical. Why don't you go look for wealth distribution and history of colonialism and tell me what you find.
Look for the genocide of indigenous populations in Mexico, the US and Canada by white European settlers. France's history in Algeria, Apartheid in South Africa - all were white minorities against black or brown majority. Africa has several examples. and there are tons of other examples (India!) and if you want one that is current - because most of them are thankfully part of history although their legacy isn't - just look at Palestinians' ongoing ethnic cleansing and colonization by white European Jewish settlers... all supported by other white European dominated countries such as the US, Canada, Australia and we'll, actual white European countries like England, France etc.
You guys are really going to have to work a little harder and come up with a lot more than what you have so far, which is basically nothing.

It is a wholly invalid framing, because it assumes that all ethnicities have the same history in this land, the same power, the same struggle to claim personhood, the same assumptions leveled on them. In this light, The Fallacious Flip is nothing but more oppression and privileged (un)thinking; an attempt to shut down the POC from gaining equality.">

I think you’re projecting here. It sounds to me like it’s yourself you’re talking about. You’ve made it very clear you’ve already made up mind and don’t even care about what anyone else has to say and have no desire to even understand what others are talking about. You can’t even come up with a half decent relevant argument for god’s sake.. Yet you think you’re somehow in a position to insult other people and ridicule them for not understanding your claims? Newsflash: We understand them all right, people are simply trying to move the discussion beyond the level you apparently think as very intellectual. Please.
Facts and logic? From you? LOL Shit, what a joke. Get real. You’ve got a seriously overblown and exaggerated opinion of yourself. I suggest you re-think your performance on this thread because it’s definitely not deserving of the praise you think it is in the fantasy world you live in.
Alex posted a video and link to Tim Wise. I've posted several videos from him on a previous thread on racism. But just like in that thread, people can't be bothered to even watch it, let alone to address it. They and you prefer to just keep repeating the same things over again. That's not called facts. You seem to understand fact over opinion but you don't seem to be clear on what facts and opinions are because you appear to think what you're saying qualifies as fact and not as mere opinion. I would suggest doing a bit of research on that. Your arguments might be a little more convincing if you did.
You'd have to engage and actually respond to the responses you get though, so I understand how your current understanding might be preferred by you. It must be pleasant not to have to consider anyone's arguments and simply dismiss them without even needing to consider them. But guess what? While you obviously have many opinions about this topic, some people (like Tim Wise) actually have careers dedicated to the subject. I know you've decided you're a genius and expert on racism and all but you might want to listen to what people who don't just like to think of themselves as Knowledgeable experts, they actually are and that's how people also describe them and why what they say is credible and based on facts. Unless I missed it somehow, no one considers you an expert of great credibility. So while humility is quite obviously not something that comes naturally to you, I'd highly suggest you practice that too. I
Newsflash : it's intellectually dishonest and lazy. Get over yourself for just 5 minutes if you can manage and give your detractors the minimum of respect they deserve, stop being lazy and consider their arguments and offer thoughtful, relevant replies. If you're not willing to do even this, then you have no place posting and pretending to welcome discussion and really need to stfu and stop wasting everyone else's time, it's fucking rude.

<img src="http://www.curate.us/i/q/10Ply.png" width="100%" alt="White privilege is a term often used but largely misunderstood. Those who agree that they have it, don�t often understand exactly what it entails. White privilege is somewhat easy to deny because it�s very nature, depends on the belief that one race is superior, therefor more deserving of any given �gift.�White privilege does not mean that you have an easy life. As a white person, falling on hard times isn�t an unrealistic event. The difference is, when you fall on hard times, its just that, hard times. You are a hard worker who just needs a chance. Not a lazy moocher looking for a handout.
White privilege does not guarantee and easy life, a good life or a happy life. However, the privilege does make your life different and gives you and advantage over others based solely on the color of your skin.">

It can be an unepexpectedly subtle lens, and so good a fit that rarely are people aware they are wearing it.

It is simple because it is nothing more than a shrug of the verbal shoulder, yet it is effective because it draws on a vast realityâ��that the experiences and contributions and pain and lives of non-whites in America are not as valuable as those of whites. In this attak, the wielder simply laughs off or otherwise derides the brown person, and in the process dismisses their deepest feelings or most crucial reality because it just doesn't matter to them. There is no real response to this attak because the wielder is referencing a truth that runs deeply through our culture and is simply admitting that they subscribe to it. Thus, they enlist the entirety of America's racist parts against the brown person by wielding this particular attak. There may be no way to singlehandedly answer such hate, but it should be an immediate indicator to the Brownâ�¢ that at this point, there is no use further engaging this person in any meaningful way.
