&gt; For all the talk about white privilege, I never hear the solutions to it. What is OP supposed to do: not get the job? Not feed his family? How is he supposed to prove that he is aware of his &quot;white privilege&quot;?<p>The world is divided among two groups of people: people who live for themselves, and people who live for the validation of others.<p>The latter group believes that changing &#x27;language&#x27; results in changing reality. If you want to lose weight, then get a funny mirror which shows you that you&#x27;re skinny and that would result in you somehow working towards it and becoming skinny. That reality is merely a &#x27;social construct&#x27; so modification of the social construct is all what you need to permeate those changes into other parts of the &#x27;reality&#x27;.<p>It&#x27;s this group of people who believe that minorities aren&#x27;t succeeding because they don&#x27;t get enough validation from others. This confuses most of the other people who never cared for this validation.<p>So people like you or OP says, &quot;But I never needed other people&#x27;s validation&quot;, and these people respond &quot;Oh because you always got the validation, that&#x27;s why you don&#x27;t think anyone needs validation&quot;.<p>To answer your question, these people want you to &#x27;validate&#x27; minorities. Make it look like that they&#x27;re successful and apparently that will make them successful.<p>If you ask me, that just results in creation of pathetic individuals who will never achieve anything real in life.
