Why does white privilege exists in the world?

[Anonymous]

Why do white people get away from things that people of color can't get away with?

[Soteris]

Part of it is because "White People" reached out and directly engaged with every other group of people. Its not like Chinese people for example had much interactions with Africans which means that all the different groups around the world starts to build up a collective stereotype of white people specifically.

Add to that how the people who traveled around the world usually were outgoing, wealthy and powerful people and the cultural view of white people is going to be very skewed. Then you have the influence of western media and culture like McDonalds which furthers infects other cultures and normalizes white people.

Chances are that a person in Japan is fairly used to the image of a white person. Maybe they have certain opinions but for the most part the visual of it has been internalized by the culture making it "Normal" and accepted. In a way white people can be seen as everyones neighbor with some positive associations which makes people less suspicious and not as likely to reject them as "foreign".

Don't agree with your premise but the title is thought worthy. Caucasians are held to a higher standard of behavior than other groups.

It is because, on average Caucasians have achieved far beyond any other group except for asterisks on the Chinese and Japanese. Caucasians have earned a level of privilege but that does not give us license to oppress others.

While our white people starve on the streets in city centres, all you have to do to get into the uk now is rock up in a dinghy, be young African and lose your passport but never the iPhone. So spare us the white privilege.

It doesn't. Where is this so-called white priviledge, and where can I cash it in? I didn't get my white priviledge card either!

[exitseven]

me neither

I never got my white privilege card either. Where can I get mine? I've never seen white privilege in action and no white people that I have talked with have ever mentioned that they have white privilege and I am an old woman. What is this white privilege you speak of?

It doesn’t. As a person of color who has gotten to where I’m at based on what I’ve done in my life as far as the right choices, I find that funny. As a member of one of the biggest races who were almost completely exterminated by the US gov’t, I think that’s an excuse. I don’t know where you’re from but a majority of the homeless people that I see on the street are white men. Guess their privilege really helped them out. It’s a privilege when I can apply at an Indian casino w preference over a white man because of my race. It’s a privilege that I as well as many other people of color have affirmative action on our side. It’s a privilege when police don’t patrol our neighborhoods as much as white neighborhoods cause they don’t want to be seen as racist.

Such as?

the reasons are similar to male privilege.

Because white things are more reflective.

When was the last time you saw a politician trip all over himself to help white person?

[HighValue]

It is a lie. Black privilege and women's privilege are the only types that exist in the USA.

White people have higher IQ level as has been proven in many studies, even when raised in the same environment. Also blacks are more aggressive which leads them to making bad decisions in life.
