Just saying, even here in Canada the Ukrainian people hadbeen called "White Niggers" for Decades. Hell, the Canadian gov't took Ukrainians land in both world wars and put random Ukrainian citizens in work camps. I mean, blame me for what my ancestors did, but why do Ukrainians get blamed for their ancestors getting discriminated against and abused? I think thats pretty damn racist and fucked up in its own way. | ||

They're choosing to live in poor conditions and begging for handouts! #StupidRightWingThings | ||

According to Ghandi's sister's logic, black people can't be racists, so that doesn't really tell us much on how racist Asian people are.

You should tell your sister that this is incorrect, and she should stop reading tumblr. Women can be sexist and racial minorities can be racist. They're still underprivileged and underrepresented, so to speak, but yes, misandry is real, and positive discrimination is still discrimination.

Like... you take a look at the british, and you know, historically they have kind of just butt fucked a whole shitload of people. But like, how do you lump a group of people like the Ukrainians with the British when you talk about Race and privilege? When has Ukraine hurt anyone? How long have Ukrainians went without being persecuted by someone? For how many years have Ukrainians had the same rights as their peers? Yet a Ukrainian person in america is considered just as at fault and privileged as someone from Britain. They still have certain privileges afforded by the color of their skin. It's one thing to be white and poor, and an entirely other thing to be black and poor. There's a noticeable difference in how the police treat you, etc. etc. Same as if you were Hispanic vs. Asian in say Texas, yada yada.

By far Koreans and Chinese are, at least from my experience. Legit, half the Koreans on campus refuse to hang out with anyone who's not Korean. Hell, I've only been to 1 KBBQ place where I didn't feel like I (or the party I'm with) felt slightly dis serviced simply because we answered the ahjumma's "Annyeonghaseyo" in English. | ||

It seems to me that whenever I say that, it somehow turns the conversation into a contest of which gender is more oppressed, when that question is actually irrelevant to the concept of gender equality? I've been expressing that thought to people lately and it has mostly been met with vehement refutation. because they're too fucking stupid to separate individual or small uncommon discrimination with overall social trends. Plus the correct term should be egalitarian, but feminists want to be special snowflakes and only want to campaign for one side of rights.

It's a very useful analytical lens, from either historical or social science perspective. People on tumblr and some really radical SRS fail to realize what feminism and privilege ACTUALLY means, and have essentially made a meme out of patriarchy and privilege. | ||
