Did I just stumble on slashdot? I much prefer the discourse on HN but the reaction to &quot;PC culture&quot; and &quot;White privilege&quot; is basically the same everywhere.<p>It has never been supposed to mean anything about an individual, and yet that is ALWAYS how it seems to be taken. We (as white and or males) can&#x27;t help but see things from our individual perspective and take offense at the implication we ever had anything easier than anyone else.<p>I agree with others in the thread, we just need to throw away the word white privilege and come up with something else because it has been totally poisoned. I&#x27;m not saying there aren&#x27;t overzealous &quot;social justice warriors&quot; that haven&#x27;t contributed to the misunderstanding of the word.<p>Just remember, when people use the word white privilege, THEY ARE NOT REFERRING TO YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
