"I'll read a couple hand-selected excerpts from this 600pg manual and decide its racist, without first taking the entire course"
"White privilege doesn't exist. Let me give you a anecdote of my own personal experience as evidence."
The truth is, White privilege exists. White people understand it, black people understand it, Asians and Hispanics understand it. Anyone who understands or has studied american history or history in general understands it. Just because you may have not experienced it yourself or in your one county doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Lol. The whole reason it's becoming less and less of a thing is because we can learn about it. This forum might be the ones who would best benefit from such a course.
There's absolutely nothing racist about this story. It's only purpose though is to be politically divisive. It's pretty irresponsible for Fox to even repost this story. Tomorrow, nothing at all will happen. The course will still exist, people will continue to take it, and the people who read this story won't care anymore. The course will continue to serve its purpose, whether you choose to understand it or not.
The idea of white privilege extends a lot deeper than just "white people get better jobs/have more money etc etc" you could read more about it, but you won't.
