White privilege???
 

Ok children, look in the mirror each morning and repeat:

'Got privilege?' B.C. school district under fire after launching anti-racism campaign - British Columbia - CBC News

Don't shoot the messenger.

The complaint about these posters reminds me of the complaints about this children’s tv presenter

Re: White privilege???
 

"she attracted controversy from parents complaining that the one-armed presenter was scaring children, and prompting difficult conversations to explain her disability."

I'm at a loss to imagine a household in which that is a difficult conversation.

Sounds pretty 'armless' to me.....

And i wonder why I can't stand BC. There we go.

Meanwhile, in the grown up world, we have politicians that reject victimisation:

So what, exactly, is 'BME'?

It's so hard to keep up with SJW terminology these days. Is there a website that lists today's politically-correct acronyms?

Re: White privilege???
 

It is hard, but the first line of the article explains:

She told BBC Radio Kent she found the commonly used acronym for Black and Minority Ethnic "patronising" and "insulting".

Why did the OP need three question marks?

Re: White privilege???
 

Its a new term to me.

Seems to be a new one each week.

Re: White privilege???
 

I hadn't heard it either, but no surprise since it's English.

Re: White privilege???
 

It's widespread across the country.

It appears to have started in Saskatchewan with this ad campaign.

City of Saskatoon, advocates defend anti-racism billboards

And at a technical university in Ontario:

Are you privileged because you're white, male, heterosexual? UOIT posters spark controversy

And at Trent University this controversial event:

‘Anti-white(ness)’ Canadian university event mired in controversy

Re: White privilege???
 

Nice to see you. So, where do you find these Americans who speak of civil war?

Re: White privilege???
 

What terminology do you want to use then if this social justice warrior terminology is so hard to keep up with?

Re: White privilege???
 

This thread reminds of the idiots on LinkedIn who plump up on the white privilege threads saying that "you have to play your hand" and "I got where I did through hard work".

Candidly just so everyone is clear there is no such thing as a self made person and anyone who tells you other wise is kidding themselves.
