    I'm saying that it is racist individuals, not a racist system that results in disadvantage. If you could prove a cop acted in a racist manner, he's gonna lose his job. Certainly here in the UK.
    Right, but it's hard to prove a cop is racist unless they're on tape overtly acting like one. You can't just say 'this cop pulled me over 'cause I'm X, it happens all the time here' and expect an investigation to be launched.

    Right, fair enough. So... how do you know he was being racist? If you can't prove it, well you can't know. You're making an assumption, and from that assumption you are coming to the conclusion that white people are privileged.

    It's a flawed line of thinking.

    The cops routinely use racial profiling, it's not like it's a secret. It's essentially systematized racism.

    So the DEA gets a tip that cocaine is being smuggled into the country on a flight. they look at the passenger manifest and they see 150 white people, and two Columbian nationals.

    Are you saying that searching their luggage first would be systematized racism??

    Reminds me of a Colombian guy I knew when i lived in the US. Every single time he came back to the US from a visit to Col. he got a finger up his ass.

    Not necessarily. Not having your luggage searched as one of the white ppl, if only the columbians' were would be white privilege.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    The bottom line is that thinking in terms of such and such privilege will lead to confusion and missing the mark more often than not.

    In fact the Polish come here and do job British people don't want to do. The average wage for a Polish man aged 30 will be less than his British counterpart. Is that disadvantage? No it fucking isn't.

    Oh ok, well it's interesting how you can say "doesn't apply to Polish", while I'm the one who seems to be missing the point about racism.

    Huh?

    You're just obfuscating things now.

    The topic is white privelege. Racism against white poles or lithuanians or swedes is not relevant.

    You brought up how white people were supposedly immune, I simply refuted it by pointing to the Polish.
