The Liberal Blind Spot
&gt; That last one had me dying of laughter. If that video doesn&#x27;t convey a direct, obvious example of white privilege<p>So, when white guy is stealing a bike, people confront him (not all of them) and some consider calling the police. When white female is stealing a bike, a guy offers to help her. This is an example of a white privilege, but not female privilege. Am I missing something in this picture, or discussing &quot;female privilege&quot; is one of those topics beyond the proverbial line in the sand?<p>I mean, I don&#x27;t claim there is or is not white or female privilege. I just say if we look at the structure of your example and you conclude it proves there is a white privilege, you also must conclude there is a female privilege, for the same reason. Why didn&#x27;t you?<p>&gt; 90% of US prison populations are black men because they commit more crimes, and not because they simply are arrested more often<p>It&#x27;s a false dichotomy. It is actually both. And black men is not nearly 90% of US prison population - it&#x27;s actually 37% [1] for males and 22% for females. You may want to get familiar with actual facts before you argue.<p>&gt; I would say that any government that is enforcing a particular behavior (that doesn&#x27;t harm others!) has to provide the burden of proof that their actions are just<p>That is a very noble statement. Unfortunately, very frequently this statement is voiced by what I call one-point libertarians - people that are completely OK with widest government intrusion as long as it matches their opinions, but in one point where government policy does not match it they demand extraordinary amount of proof. This looks like opportunism rather than principle.<p>&gt; there are real people out there, suffering broad cultural prejudice, and people like you are trying to ridicule them by using terms like SJW<p>Usually people called SJW and people actually suffering prejudice are very different people. People that are most frequently being called SJW are very frequently are very white, very privileged, study in very expensive and very selective colleges, live in countries and conditions that 99% of the planet population would consider very luxurious, etc. Not always, of course - but frequently. They just think that because they talk about privilege that somehow allows them to take &quot;holier than thou&quot; pose.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Incarceration_in_the_United_States#Ethnicity" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Incarceration_in_the_United_St...</a>
