[quote]Stop being white, jerk![/quote] [quote]I'M SORRY I'M WHITE I'M SORRY I'M MALE[/quote] [quote]Blah blah blah white people are the spawn of Satan blah blah blah[/quote] #notgettingit Nobody is saying white people are inherently bad because they're privileged. The people who would perpetuate white privilege are largely white (duh). They would not necessarily be racists, just people who haven't seen the evidence of white privilege. So, articles like this are good because they point out privilege, ideally making people more aware and less likely to perpetuate it. If you're part of a privileged group and you understand this and make efforts not to support this, then don't act like you're being persecuted just for being white/male/whatever. You aren't. The article isn't about you (that is, if you truly understand your privilege; the ''people who point out privilege are trying to make whites/males ashamed of themselves'' crowd likely does not, and the article probably is about them).
