In a short summary, the term "check your privilege" is nothing more than leftist racism. By saying this, all a person does is make a preconceived notion without knowing anything about the person. And how do you even know they're privileged in the first place? Because you look at their physical appearance? Isn't that what discrimination is? It's plain arrogance
All it is, is simply a cop out to tell a person "blah blah blab ur rong im rite blah blah blah". Would you tell a homeless white person to check his/her "privileges"?
Again, so many things make up a person besides skin color or body parts. All that does is make a person feel bad about something they can not control. And that is the issue why racism and discrimination still exists. Until we can stop using pathetic cop outs like "check your privileges" then it will continue

>There are people who actually take this image seriously

Who even says that?

I find it funny that people shut down or rage when somebody tells them to "check their privilege". If it's such bullshit, why do you take it so seriously and act like you're being discriminated against? Get a thicker skin.

It is all just brainwashing from the left to keep their herd under control. If they can keep their herd feeling like underprivileged victims then they can always have power over them by promising to give them "hope" or "change". The left is just as racist if not more racist than the right. The only difference is that they are racist towards white people.

Edited by Madman Mordo: 5/10/2014 4:22:10 AMIt definitely needs to be categorised as an official SJW fallacy. It's nothing more than a tenuous cop out in an attempt to silence the opposition. [spoiler]she is adorable <3[/spoiler]

Edited by Le Dustin xddddd: 5/10/2014 1:42:24 PMDifferent people are born with and without different 'privileges,' so to say someone is or isn't privileged based on one trait is pretty ignorant. Although most of the name calling stems from emotional responses, so if they really wanted to convince people of social inequality they wouldn't be insulting the people they're trying to convince.

someone said shitpost?

The way this woman talks annoys me. She draws out her words too much OT: I agree with her points. I never really paid attention to the "check your privelage" comments in the past though.
