For real though on the college part, that was beyond frustrating when I was trying to get scholarships to fund my college costs. I was pretty much as good as you can get for a high school student looking to go into science and engineering, but more than half of all the scholarships out there were for minorities only. Such bullshit. And then the schools have diversity targets that they try to hit so you end up with a worse pool of students.

And many POC get set up for failure by being passed through inferior schools only to gain admission to top tier universities because of all of the minority perks baked into the academic system. One of my sons had a roommate from the local inner city when he was s freshman in college (a very highly respected university). The kid struggled in school because he lacked a proper foundation to be there. My son said his math level was like that of a 7th or 8th grader (basic algebra). This student had been placed ahead of whites and asians into a very competitive BME program.

My best friend growing up, and myself, graduated high school in the top 5% of our class. I was 1 rank above him, and we participated in the same extracurricular activities. We also grew up on the same street, to families with near identical incomes. We were basically the same applicant. He isn't even black, but was able to check "african-american" on the box because one side of his family is from egypt. Two schools we both applied to: he got into one that I didn't. And the one we both got into, he got 100% scholarships, I got hardly any. Just one small example of many that I've experienced due to my "white privilege"

Today, I've been turned down for probably about 50 jobs, where the position was given to a candidate that I know for a fact had less experience, less or worse education, and a weaker resume... All because I had to check the "white," and "male" boxes. My last name can pass as hispanic so from now on I'm checking that I'm hispanic, and "prefer not to answer," for gender (bonus points if they think I have gender dysphoria). I'm so sick of my white privilege, because all the privileges have been disadvantages, obstacles, and outright discrimination

I started a local outdoor club for some students to go hiking, climbing, etc. We applied for a grant to buy some gear but instead they like to give grants to Black Girls Climb and LGBTQ hiking, and trans outdoor groups and "victims of environmental injustice" instead.

That’s when you say “we are exploring putting 8 white male children on gender hormone therapy,” and wait for the checks to roll in. When they send the photographer you say “yeah, we explored it and decided against it.”

interesting note: it's worthwhile to sign up for those "minority only" scholarships anyway. since they legally have to give the money to someone, if the only person that signed up for the Black Wahmen Empowerment Bursary is a white guy, they have to give it to you.

As good as you can get for a high school student? Ha. You mean you showed up?

Have you ever considered that you're probably not a terribly smart person? And that you're incredibly boring and have no unique qualities at all about you? TBH, that's why you didn't get in...

Jealous commie? I'm 27, earn six figures a year, own a home, and have a wonderful happy family.

As for my education, I got a degree in chemical engineering from one of the top engineering schools in the country, and was near the top of my class. I earned awards for my academic achievements. It was my first choice of school, and I was accepted to every school I applied for.

I got student loans to pay for what scholarships didn't cover, and worked multiple jobs while in school to cover living expenses.

Shit stains like you want everything handed to them. I worked my ass off for what I have, and I still do so that my family can be comfortable and safe. Something you'll never understand since you're too miserable to lift a finger and care for anyone other than yourself.

Another anecdote regarding college: A young lady from my hometown was recently accepted into every ivy league university in the US. She is black. When interviewed by the local news, her message to other kids who want to apply to the ivy's, was, "Dont be afraid you won't get in due to your grades. Its not about your grades, they look more at your personality." Lol.

It's because white people are contrarians and extremely difficult to control. Furthermore, whites are born this way.

I saved a study done by a famous anthropologist / psychologist showing the difference in attitudes of newborns by race. Of course, it's almost impossible to find this study online nowadays. I'll go look for it.

edit: ok, the pdf refuses to come up anywhere on the internet.

It's called Ethnic Differences in Babies by Daniel G.Freedman. FFS, the censorship is insane.

I am not posting the links for fear of torching the site. Will upload a copy (it is small) somewhere if there's enough demand.

I'm saving this too for later read. I'm from a multi-race Asian country and this feels just about right (even before I know of this study). People behave and feel vastly different and some of it doesn't seem to be even a cultural thing.

Malays here and in Indonesia - in our neighbouring country - are mostly Muslims, but they seem a totally different breed from Muslims of Middle East, many seem to have extremely laid-back personalities like typical races of South East Asia - despite of somewhat similar Muslim upbringing if you're comparing about the deeply religious ones. (The non-religious ones eats with the Chinese and behaves as if they wish they weren't born Muslim.)

Though it doesn't seem to affect South East Asia as much as it did in the Middle East...... What on Earth is wrong with that place.*

*At least, there's quite some Malay-Indian Mixed race in my country, and social level difference here is light enough that I think we can explain the difference away with simply work ethic, and employers preferring to hire people who won't go away praying twice during 9-5 hours.

The censorship of any scientific study about ethnicity just goes to show that liberals (and especially white liberals) are the real white supremacists. They censor those studies because they assume that the science will prove that white people are superior to other races. They assume that the science undermines their liberal narrative about race. Why else would they feel the need to hide that information? Through their censorship, they're actively telling us that this is what they believe. They're the racists.

White privilege is having your little children get demonized and taught to be ashamed of themselves just for existing, or getting your window smashed in and business robbed because you didn't have a "I'm not white" sign in your window. White privilege is being the only group that no politician, corporation, business, or group is allowed to pander to without being denounced as evil. White privilege is when it's considered a sin when too many whites are in one particular area. White privilege is not being admitted into college because a black kid with a lower GPA and SAT score was admitted instead, even though you can trace your ancestry and confirm that none of your ancestors owned African slaves. White privilege is when partisan-publishing-platforms like twitter allow an unlimited amount of blatant hatred, racism, and promotion of violence against whites to be posted.> This...I'm using this.

I collect old history books and other books and after reading so many you see how much history is lost, misinterpreted, misrepresented or perverted. It's insane. So much knowledge, even basic skills for self sufficiency and survival, has been drowned out with new rewritten "history" with an unnatural feel. My generation is now more lost than the knowledgeable books of yesteryear. Progress my ass!

I blame that leftist hell hole of Wikipedia of late. Jimmy Wales or what ever his name is has created a history changing site run by out enemies

I work at a school and I run anti plagiarism software on their work (it is automated) and if we see Wikipedia they get a talking too. I am in IT and not a teacher but I make sure I look for plagiarism from Wikipedia

Wikipedia was created to change history and so was most social media

I have had conversations with people who see it more and more.

Using Turnitin and it has been pretty effective so far. Just glad it did not exist when I was in school as my whole education in HS was stolen lol. When I was doing higher studies people stole my work. Even got me to fix the teachers computers. Wish I had learnt to code but all hardware software and networking

I am out of the computer game soon. Just so bored with it and need a new job. Computers bore me now

Once did a book report just based off the back page of a book

My report was on a book called the Silver Bears which was about finance and Bear markets and I made it all up and the teachers never checked it

I am probably wrong what it was about even as I never read it.. My report was prob even on the wrong thing

I did Ancient History 3 units which is highest Ancient History and I once wrote a essay how the Minoans were Aliens and as long as you can cite evidence you cant fail. Also got kicked out of most classes in school soooo it makes sense.

On my final exams in Chem they asked what PVC was used for and I wrote RUBBER NEEEEPLES from Ren and Stimpy. I got marks cause my answer was correct

Prior to the colonial era, did any contribution to civilization ever come out of sub-Saharan Africa?

Only the lies they say today.

Very much like Aboriginals in Australia who made a few different sticks over the years and some were cannibals but when and we can see from DNA evidence more Tamal from Indian influence came in they progressed a little bit more but not much

Even their famous dot paintings was invented by a White dude and if I painted one today they would call me racist

At the time of colonisation there were only 250k here and most died due to disease and not violence even though there are cases of it but it was mostly disease.

Maybe 20k were killed by Whites and mostly they got along in areas

My family was sent here as slaves and the Croatian part was settlers years later.

Early settlers of Australia were all slaves really.

I used to be on the hiring committee for a large company. One of the complaints about “white privilege” is that companies are discriminatory in hiring based on the name on a resume. If that were the case it would seem that oppressed people would try to appear white in their resumes.

However, in reality, if someone was minority or gay, there were inevitably at least 3 lines on their resume signaling it. And amazingly, things like GPA cutoffs got dropped dramatically and if an affirmative offer decision was made, there would be a red carpet rollout. I think that is pretty commonplace for a lot of mid sized and large companies and has been for at least 15 years.

What I would see on entry level recruiting was that a person in a protected class might have a GPA a full point below most cutoffs, yet would have like 8 offers. The grievance peddlers are very detached from reality.

Sadly, this hurts minorities too though. Smaller companies can be afraid to hire them because of they aren't a good candidate and need to be fired they now have to worry about a discrimination lawsuit.

WokeSheeple 4 points ago +4 / -0

Small businesses and startups generally can't afford to play the virtue signaling game. There's too much at stake to be wasting even pennies. And that's also why early stage startups are often accused of being sexist "bro cultures".

If I'm a startup and can only afford to hire 5 programmers, I'm going to hire the best I can get. If they happen to be 3 white dudes, and 2 Asian dudes, I'm going with it. Trying to "diversify" at such early stages of a company could potentially mean business suicide.

Big companies love this shit though because it's a net positive for business. Once you already have a critical amount of skilled engineers, adding in a few sub-par ones in the name of diversity won't impact your product too much and it'll get your on the right side of the press.

1
Thehoytime 1 point ago +1 / -0

Good analysis, except for the last paragraph. I wholeheartedly disagree it is a net positive for a company to hire sub par employees.

I've actually heard a smart investor comment how he had made a good amount of money shorting companies that tout diversity because then you are no longer focused on the customer, but instead on some imagined quota. Get woke, go broke.

2
WokeSheeple 2 points ago +2 / -0

I believe there's a threshold for how many quota employees a big company can hire before starting to see a significant decrease in performance. It's a balancing game to find that sweet spot where they're performance is stable and their PR is on good terms.

If it were truly the case that any woke hiring were so bad for business as to go broke, very few companies would be doing it. The fact that most big companies do this is a telling sign. In general, if they're doing it, it means it's a net positive for business. Unless you believe companies truly care so much about diversity they actually put it before profits.

1
Thehoytime 1 point ago +1 / -0

I think the people involved in diversity quotas may not care about profits. In the long run it will ruin the company, it may take a while, but will happen. The thing is, there is no satisfying them and they will want more and more diversity until they just start to eat each other like the left does.

Companies can do stupid things because they think it will help them.

Academia? No it's even worse than that. "white privilege" was a term coined by the Weather Underground, a Soviet backed terrorist group. They firebombed post offices and assassinated judges in the 60s and 70s.

Their leader, Bill Ayers, was supposed to rot in prison for the rest of his life, but was pardoned 11th hour, along with a bunch of other leftist terrorists, by Bill Clinton at the end of his second term.

Bill Ayers became Obama's political mentor afterwards and ghostwrote Obama's book.

Never been a better time for art in the corporate world than right now. Doesn't mean jobs are easy to get but there are more than ever before. Depending where you are in Tennessee, there may or may not be any. Most of these kinds of jobs are going to be in large cities, even if many of them are part work from home or full time. So remember that - just bc you have skill and experience doesn't mean you're gonna find a job if you live in a small rural town. There is unfortunately a balance that has to take place when having most modern careers vs. wanting to live a rural life. It's certainly possible but you need to be realistic. Clearly, there will be more opportunity in a Dallas or New York or Vegas or Atlanta than there will be in a Lincoln or Tucson or Spearfish. Essentially, yeah maybe you wanna live in Grand Junction but after a year of no graphic art jobs, it's time to look to Denver, or SLC.

That said, keep your head up because there really are opportunities out there for long careers in design. While you wait to find a job, keep creating. If you don't know what to do (you need to figure out this "skill" (drive) if you haven't already), then pick random companies and pretend you're hired as a graphic artist on a marketing campaign and create. Pretend t_d.win just hired you for a marketing campaign and create, just to keep your skill and your creativity sharp. Keep progressing on youtube learning extra skills, maybe learn another program. Maybe dip your toes into video prod/editing and/or After Effects. Maybe get into 3D if you're more into design, or a sketchup and do more technical creative. Maybe go old school and get into watercolor or oil paints, etc. Just keep creating and honing your technique and improving your artistic VISION. This will make having an updated portfolio easy (make sure you have one updated online at the ready if you're looking for a job!!!) and will keep you on your toes when the opportunity presents itself. Good luck!

Saw this comment and it really resonated with me regarding the term "white privilege":

Why not call it "minority disadvantage"? How is being treated fairly under law and by society a privilege and not a right? Why do we want to end that, rather than ensuring it applies to all?

Why would you waste time pushing a divisive term that gets so much pushback and shuts people off, when you could use a more logically sound alternative, that almost everyone would agree with?

Then a follow-up comment expanded on this brilliantly:

It's more about the concept of a privilege in the first place. It's not intended to be automatic or guaranteed. It's a special elevation above the standard.

A white person being treated fairly during the hiring process isn't a privilege. It's the way the system is supposed to work for everyone, regardless of race. The black person being unfairly treated by some employers is a disadvantage.

Being given a parking permit that allows you to park anywhere, for no particular reason, is a privilege. It is an exception to the designed function of the system, that elevates you.

If I had a parking permit that allowed me to park anywhere, I wouldn't object to giving that up to someone who needed it more e.g. a disabled person. However, I would always object to no longer being treated fairly by potential employers.

If a white person isn't being handed anything special, and is merely being treated in the ideal manner, saying you want to end their privilege can be reasonably perceived as an attack on them. On the contrary, saying you want to end discrimination against black people and ensure they have equal rights and treatment, is not an attack, and is much better received.

Not only is the term "white privilege" inaccurate and logically problematic, it instantly closes people off and makes them unreceptive to dialogue. It doesn't make any sense to push for the acceptance of the term, when there's a much better one, and the time you're spending is wasted on arguments rather than productive, harmonious interactions.

I feel like this is a very good explanation for people who don't understand why "white privilege" is so illogical but also offensive. I think if we eloquently explained this point above it would be pretty effective to those who aren't too far gone.

Most are too far gone. In the past 10 days we have witnessed a mob form and questioning the validity of theories such as unconscious bias, white privilege or systemic racism is an automatic racist label. It has been elevated to a modern religion and anyone who objects is a heretic. I don’t think a modern day Martin Luther is walking through that door any time soon.

I was trained in the concept of white privilege and how to introduce it in a non offensive manner about 12 years ago. The biggest problem is the name that they chose. How can it be not offensive to whites and a bone of contention for blacks with the name "white privilege"
As much as it was meant to bring races together the name alone is divisive and it's meaning has been co-opted. Another example of people with good intentions who have an idea with bad outcomes.

I've been reading the SJW Bible "White Fragility" and Thomas Sowell's "Discrimination and Disparities" side by side. The contrast between stupid self-indulgent circular thinking and genius analysis of reason and evidence couldn't be more stark. The SJW idiots on the left will destroy everything they claim to defend if given any power.

  1. Graduate High School

  2. Work full time

  3. Don't have kids outside of marriage.

Do these three things, and you will be successful no matter what color you are. Race is irrelevant!

I was up for a promotion, felt I was the better candidate. Many agreed. I interviewed, did really well. Didn't get the job. Person I am cool with on the hiring panel, said other person got the edge for their diversity hiring numbers. I haven't complained because it would get the guy fired who told me that. I am aggressively seeking new employment. WHITE PRIVILEGE DOES NOT EXIST. YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID IF YOU THINK IT DOES.

Ah yes. White privilege. The privilege of being at the bottom of the college admissions and job hiring lists because of your skin color. The privilege of having to walk on eggshells around PoC's in case they take something you say wrong, label you a racist and ruin your life. The privilege of being murdered by cops (Tony Timpa, Duncan Lemp) who get off scot free and the case is memory-holed. The privilege of being called evil and a racist because you have the wrong skin color.

Just wait until whites are accessed a ", privilege tax" to fund reparations. We're gonna love that.

It’s sad but true - a diverse society can never work unless it’s totalitarian.

The grievances of the minorities will always be leveraged against the mainstream causing unrest.

Imagine a USA with all European whites. And imagine other countries with all blacks or all Arabs or all Japanese etc. imagine the cohesion and unity and lack of anything to get bent about.

Our Magnanimity as a nation to welcome nonwhite immigrants (and try to elevate and integrate the descendants of former slaves) has been met with a non stop spit in the face.

There's much more black or POC privilege in this country, but we're all privileged to be Americans. Unfortunately far too many take it for granted and hate America, but weirdly won't leave even if offered a paid trip to the country of their choice as long as they renounce their citizenship.

There is absolutely a privilege to having wealth, but since the Leftists are racist, they equate wealth with being white and poverty with being black.

Just ask them, Biden and Bernie have both said it themselves

It invalidates all of the accomplishments of all white people. It is the most offensive thing you can say. It doesn’t bother me though. It is the thinking of those who cannot apply themselves trying to justify their lack of success by characterizing my people as a race of super-men instead of applying themselves. If they too are white, they are justifying their mediocrity by saying they have declined their privilege.

Well said man. I do believe white privilege existed many decades ago, certainly not now. When I hear people say shit like "I understand white privilege" It's the biggest bullshit.

I have honestly received more racism towards white people than I have ever experienced "white privilege" the funniest part of it all, it's usually the whites dishing out the racism to other whites, I've found that no other race really gives a fuck about the color of your skin. It's only left wing white people.

I get what you mean, I was born in Australia and was raised around Tongan & Samoan immigrants who were quite racist towards whites, but I still received more racism from naive white people tbh. White people must be more open about it, idk.

Just to clarify, this isn't the racism these leftist sjw's talk about, just talking about white on white racism. It's like I am meant to be ashamed of my skin or something.

I also grew up in schools that were predominantly black. For a couple of years I was harassed, threatened, and once was beat up, due to being white. I learned to keep my head down and try to make myself invisible so they would leave me alone. Black girls and women are the most racist people on the planet. Change. My. Mind.

And I didn't even tell my parents! Back then we didn't an have anti-bullying policy; my parents and school didn't arrange a "de-escalization playdate." I just took my lumps, went college and law school and now I live in a beautiful house in the suburbs with my family and they are dead crack whores who got preggers at 15. All things work to the good.

This guy (james lindsay) exposed the fraud behind grievance studies and academia :

https://thedonald.win/p/FyxAPjy0/research-the-book-white-fragilit/c/

Here he dissects the fraud behind most of whiteness studies.

The problem is - they expand the definition of racism to include every statistic where whites may fairly outperform blacks. BUT they keep the same punishment for racism that implies evil motives.
