Jordan Peterson Debunks Intersectionality and White Privilege

[@JoeJackson-yo1eg]

One of the first people to write about a concept that would come to be called "intersectionality" - said, that "Although most individuals have little difficulty identifying their own victimization within some major system of oppression-whether it be by race, social class, religion, physical ability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age or gender-they typically fail to see how their thoughts and actions uphold someone else’s subordination." And one of her examples include, "African-Americans who possess eloquent analyses of racism often persist in viewing poor White men as symbols of White power." What she's saying here is that class is also structured within degrees of privilege and penalty - so, seeing any poor person as a symbol of oppression (white power in this case) is problematic and doesn't account for the "intersectionality" of our identities. All this said, I am a Black, transgender man, who grew up working class - so on race, class background, and gender identity - I face disadvsantages. But, I am also able-bodied, have USA citizenship status, I have an appearance that fits most people's expectations for my gender (I look like a man), I have college education, I make an income in the top 25% of income earners. So, I have income/class privilege, education degree privilege, I have gender privilege, I have able body privilege. And in recognizing this, I do my best to use each of those areas of privilege in ways that benefit or help people without that privilege. And this is all intersectionality and antiracism thought is about. It's not saying that ALL white people have ALL the privilege. It's saying that we have to look at the multiple areas of one's life and put that together to get a more complete picture of privilege and oppression. Under this theory - I would be considered overall more privileged than you if you are a white dude, in poverty, no higher education, with a disability, and undocumented - and I would be compelled to do what I could to use my privilege to protect you from oppression and disadvantage. That's all these theories are saying.

[@Health_and_society_]

I think you’re missing the point of intersectionality. It’s not just about skin colour. It’s about class, gender, disability, sexuality. There are plenty of white men living on the streets homeless. They wouldn’t have the same privileges as a white man who is well off with a home. But if there is a white man who is homeless who is physically able, then he is more privileged than a homeless woman of colour who has a disability. It’s about compounded experiences of marginalisation. No one is denying that living in poverty is hard, but it’s the compounded marginalisation that’s what intersectionality is about

[@jeremybumpermanpub7144]

“The individual is the ultimate minority.” Well said Dr Peterson, well said.

[@rayan5150]

Nonsensical tbh. And the only purpose to believe or spew this is to deflect from the dominance and privileges of classes, races and genders within a given society.

[@katherinekelly6432]

Privilege is not dependent on skin color. It is dependent on power. I have worked in China and Japan and when working and living in these cultures it is clear my skin color does not give me privilege. My power is dependent on my culture which is dependent on group association. Outside my group I lose power (privilege) This is why inter-sectionality is simply a power grab by one group from another. It is taking something through coercion. Because the desire for power is a universal human instinct there will always be those without power trying to acquire power. If men have more power than women than women as a group will seek to acquire the power that men have " Through group association" (feminism). Not having power creates the desire to associate with others to acquire power.

[@JohnSmith-hs1hn]

Nonsense. They have job ads specifically asking for whites. Asians worship wites, actually.

[@Jianju69]

​@@JohnSmith-hs1hn Asian culture is quite eager to assimilate Western culture, and parading around Westerners in front-facing positions gives an Asian company a "modern" appeal. Also, white tourists have long created a stereotype that white people are all wealthy, something that the Chinese people revere over almost everything else. This isn't about "Asians worshiping whites". Rather, it is about Asians wanting to be wealthy & appear wealthy.

There are two factors to ones success, luck and hard work. Some people are born lucky. They might be physically gifted with looks, strength or other attributes. They might be mentally gifted with drive, intelligence, or other factors. They might be circumstantially lucky with status, location, or wealth. Yet...being born lucky does not guarantee success. Hard work will increase one's chances of success, but not guarantee it. The only thing you can control though, is how hard you work. So, increase your luck. Work hard.

Privilege is irrelevant. Privilege comes in the form of being better looking, taller, smarter, richer, more talented, etc. The real question, and the only question is did you attain your privilege because of malfeasance or inequity. If so, people are justified to complain. If not, it's simply a matter of good fortune that nobody can be faulted for. It is not a privilege to live in the country your people built. It is a privilege to be treated equally in a country built by others.

When you get down to it logically categorizing fractionates all the way down to the individual. Accordingly, we, as our selves, are responsible for our own actions and successes or failures. I firmly believe that the reason the US has lasted so long is because it recognizes and safeguards the sanctity of the individual against the dangers of humans (groups or individuals) and governments to stomp on the individual.

A new pair of shoes once a year at Christmas was a privilege. I didn't think of such things as privilege. I was just happy to get that new pair of shoes. Didn't like digging under snow for the coal for heat in winter but did it anyway because I liked being warm in the house.

[@LinusFeynstein]

The whole discussion about „privilege“ and „rights“ is mostly centered around career, job opportunities, quota, representation. And that’s stupid. Jobs do not exist, because government or any kind of authority or „society“ wants to give people money, food, housing or „a deeper meaning“. Jobs exist for one reason: there is a task, a problem. So there has to be work done. The most important things in the job market is therefore not fairness or equal representation or „rights“ or „privilege“. The most important thing is: how can we solve the problem. Who can do the work. Who is best at the job?

[@TheEmpiricistNetwork]

@3:44 Except for the fact that white Americans, were historically unimpeded in their pursuit of success, benefiting from a country whose structures and legislation, like the New Deal, enhanced its "whiteness". All rights and moral standards in America are traditionally anchored in "whiteness," the recent emphasis on "individualism" raises concerns, especially after achieving a "white" majority. So it's quite convenient how "individualism" has become so appealing after all this time, inquiring minds want to know, why now?

[@mikefamm5712]

I'm not understanding your criticism. It seems that you didn't offer a coherent refutation of the claim at all. He said that the rational conclusion to intersectionality, referring to the ways in people have a multiplicity of identities and some of which overlaps while others don't and those identities impact them, is individualism. With a multiplicity of identities, group identities, and experiences, the logical end to the idea that people's identities and experiences affect them, is that the best way to treat all people is as individuals, not as iterations of whatever group you care to point out in that moment. Why? Because whatever you decide to categorize them as insufficiently captures the reality of the person. Saying that "white people haven't been impeded in their success (a laughably ignorant and overgeneralized statement) so it seems suspicious that they're the ones purporting individualism" is a question of motivation. Whether or not white people have been impeded, or have acted in whatever evil way you want to ask, it wouldn't change the outcome of the claim that individualism is the conclusion to intersectionality. Logically, it's completely irrelevant. Like arguing from authority, It's a logical fallacy. How about you make a criticism of the idea itself instead of the motivation of the people saying it? That way, you'll actually have a chance of figuring out the truth.

[@TheEmpiricistNetwork]

@@mikefamm5712 First, the assertion that intersectionality logically leads to individualism overlooks the historical evidence that I alluded to above, as well as the core purpose of the framework itself. Intersectionality, as conceived by Kimberlé Crenshaw, is not just about recognizing multiple identities but understanding how these intersecting identities can lead to unique forms of oppression or privilege. While it does highlight individual experiences within these intersections, it doesn't negate the impact of group identities (which white Americans created to maintain socioeconomic control) in societal structures. Treating people as individuals is valuable, however when looking at the historical context, “individualism” doesn't address the overwhelming systemic issues that have persisted due to enforcing group-based identities for centuries. This new push for “individualism”, is being used to maintain the ill gotten wealth and power of WS which was created by racism. This is yet another scheme to avoid rectifying the damage that caused all of these racial disparities using “color blindness” and “individualism”, which is opportunistic morality. As LBJ & Patrick Moynihan stated “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, you are free to compete with all the others, and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.”

[@TheEmpiricistNetwork]

@@mikefamm5712 Second, regarding the historical and empirical evidence (white people haven’t been impeded), the construction of race as a pseudoscientific hierarchy with white Americans at the top has profound historical implications (why is this fact laughable?). This racial categorization has been used to justify and perpetuate systemic inequalities. Policies like the New Deal and the GI Bill, which greatly benefited many white Americans, often systematically excluded Black Americans and other minorities, contributing to significant disparities in wealth and opportunity. This is not just a historical “footnote” but a key element in understanding contemporary racial inequalities. Your claim about the “motivation” of those who advocate for individualism as a response to intersectionality is also a logical fallacy that completely misses the point I was making. Understanding the historical and sociopolitical context in which these arguments arise is crucial. It’s not merely about “motives”, but as I previously stated, recognizing the broader context and implications of racism and WS.

[@TheEmpiricistNetwork]

@@mikefamm5712 Last, but definitely not least, there is the lingering issue of "nuanced communication in politics" and the exploitation of the loophole in the 13A which is essential in understanding the gamesmanship that continues today (aka New JC). Policies such as "stop & frisk" and others have disproportionately targeted Black Americans, contributing to a systemic bias in the criminal justice system. The higher interaction and exoneration rates among Black Americans highlight this systemic bias and the reality of racial disparities in legal outcomes. In nearly all aspects of society black Americans are overrepresented in negative statistics and under in positive ones. To say “race” is no longer an issue after centuries of unilateral legislation and benefits (failure wasn’t an option) is outright disrespectful to all those who’ve suffered up until now. Especially when the damage and effects are still present today. While the idea of treating everyone as an “individual” is indeed honorable, it quickly becomes immoral when there is consistent failure to address the systemic and historical factors that shaped group identities and experiences. The argument that intersectionality leads to individualism oversimplifies a complex framework completely disregarding nuances of intersecting identities and their impact on experiences of oppression and privilege. There is no ambiguity, denying these facts only aims to maintain the status quo which is indeed WS.

You ramble on without actually giving sound argument in my opinion.

[@jabalistewart6677]

In analyzing Jordan Peterson’s lecture on intersectionality and white privilege, several logical errors can be identified: 1. Strawman Argument: Peterson misrepresents the views of intersectionality and white privilege proponents. He portrays them as simplistic and illogical without addressing the more nuanced arguments made by scholars in these fields. 2. Hasty Generalization: He generalizes the entire field of intersectionality based on a single paper, claiming that it lacks empirical backing and is methodologically flawed. This ignores the substantial body of rigorous academic work that exists on these topics. 3. False Dichotomy: Peterson suggests that recognizing white privilege is equivalent to racism, as it attributes group characteristics to individuals. This is a false dichotomy as it oversimplifies the concept of systemic privilege and ignores the complexities of social identities. 4. Appeal to Ridicule: He mocks the concepts of intersectionality and white privilege without providing substantive counterarguments, which undermines the seriousness of the discussion. 5. Ad Hominem: By dismissing the field of intersectionality as pseudo-discipline and its scholars as resentful activists, Peterson attacks the character of those involved rather than engaging with their arguments. 6. Circular Reasoning: He claims post-modernists and intersectionalists dismiss logical coherence as a patriarchal construct, which he uses to dismiss their arguments without actually addressing the substance of those arguments.

Can we use white privilege to justify reverse racism? I say no. Only in Canada is reverse racism through hiring and admission quotas legal. A better approach to white privilege is to increase access for all and punish racist behaviour which the Scandinavian countries are doing. In those countries race based hiring and admission quotas are illegal but they strive to monitor privilege in all its forms.

@@DavidWand-EvaluateCanadaAid I guess I see the reverse racism logic as slippery in nature. I hear your point and think it valid on many levels.

At the bottom of this I see how the USA was constructed using race as a foundational tool that directly and negatively impacted the vast majority of non-white folks. Let's parallel that to the human body, which is the country, and as that body grows the individual picks up smoking (racism). This negatively affects the lungs and the person develops stage 1 cancer, which ultimately affects the whole body. So now to avoid lung cancer from growing the individual has to pay attention specifically to the lungs as opposed to their foot. And in the end it's in the best interest of the whole body to do so.
