@@kawaii33366 is that an example white privilege, though? Is a Chinese or Indian person more likely to be viewed with suspicion in a store than a white person? I think it's unlikely they would, so I would categorise that as racial discrimination/ stereotyping against black people than an example of white privilege. The concept of black and white neighbourhoods is a little bit alien to me as I'm English and there is far more mixing between races where living arrangements are concerned. That isn't to say that predominantly white and predominantly black neighbourhoods don't exist at all, just that - in my home city at least - it's not the norm. There are perhaps just two neighbourhoods in my city that fit that description, and even then there are significant minorities of both races in each. I myself grew up in a working class neighbourhood that was approx 50/50 white to black/ other. Went to a school that reflected the local community as well. This is quite normal in multicultural parts of England. In England the value of your property will be affected more by social class and quality of housing stock and local school than colour, though it's true to say that a black person is more likely to live in a working class or deprived area than an affluent one. Perhaps white privilege, if it does exist, is more applicable America than elsewhere.

Honestly they're barking at the wrong tree. It isn't "white privilege" but rather "rich privilege". Also, there's a ton of factors that can influence the results of the experiment, if the white man is; gay, poor or uneducated. They would be facing similar instances of discrimination. So imo this isn't about race but about money...just like everything else in this world.

Being part of some assumed "majority" is not special treatment or an exemption from being treated humanely. The definition of privilege has been skewed to imply someone who does not suffer is privileged vs someone who does suffer. But is the absence of suffering and living a basic boring normal existence a privilege? No. Privilege is above and beyond, SPECIAL treatment or Exemptions, waiving punishments, providing gifts, favors, or special services that others are not afforded. Everyone should be exempt from racial/social injustice. Being exempt from an injustice or cruel treatment is in no way a privilege, benefit, special treatment. It should be the most basic Norm.

If it was reversed, a white man working for a say an Indian boss, is it unfair for them to not be able to fully connect culturally? I don't think so. If you are a smart boss (which most are), it doesn't matter where any of your employees come from or what they culturally represent, it matters how effective they are at doing their tasks. So what, it makes the employee feel better with the same heritage of their boss? That is being a racist.

@ramdelosreyes56326 жыл бұрын
75% of the statements (9 out of 12) in this "Social Experiment" DO NOT reflect actual privilege. Here are my individual comments on each statement to discuss my personal thoughts on the topic. 1. In the last one week, I have seen an advertisement with a model of the same race as me. INVALID: It is expected that advertisements and marketing strategies would appeal to a target audience which is at most times, the majority. As long as no one is forcing you to purchase products you don't like or perhaps, stopping you from buying things you like, then this will does not prove social privilege. 2. My boss is the same race as me. INVALID: This statement is actually racist because it implies that all bosses secured their positions based solely on the color of their skin and not on merits. 3. I have never been the only person of my race in a room. INVALID: The only thing this proves is your race is most likely not the majority in your location. Unless other people are prohibiting you to enter a room only because of your race, then this statement stays INVALID. 4. In the last month, you tried to get food and the person spoke to you in a language you didn't understand. INVALID: If you emigrate from another nation, you are expected to assimilate yourself to the nation you are emigrating to. This is to pay respect to the culture and heritage of the citizens of the nation you are entering. You don't expect all of them to adjust for the newcomer. 5. Your friends in conversation used the words "you people" to you, meaning your whole race. INVALID: This does not prove social privilege because you could also say "you people" to your friends. Besides, they're your friends and they most likely are joking and do not intend any harm. If they do, then find new friends. :-) 6. You've done something well and you've been congratulated because you're a credit to your race. VALID: This is valid because it implies that your race is being generalized as somewhat subpar or incompetent, thus, you being congratulated for being a credit to your race seems a valid statement to me. 7. Your race has been brought up in a job interview. INVALID: The only way this becomes valid is when you get approved/rejected based solely on your race. Simply bringing up your race in a job interview does not prove anything other than being a personal talking point. 8. Someone's made fun of you at school because of the color of your skin. VALID: This must be the most valid statement among the list. 9. At school or at work, you have two or less food stalls where you can get food you like. INVALID: Food you like is very subjective and may even have nothing to do with your race. You could be asian, but like french cuisine. If this statement specifically stated "Food related to your race and has found zero food stalls serving them," this could yield a more objective result. Although naturally, you would find native/local/national food more prevalent in the area. 10. You've ever been asked to stop loitering at the void deck. INVALID: The statement is vague. The only reason this will be valid is if you we're asked to stop loitering based solely on the color of your skin. 11. You've watched a racial stereotype on TV and you thought it was offensive. VALID: I'll consider this valid but should be taken carefully. Being offended can be subjective especially when it comes to jokes, although I will agree that inappropriate jokes exist. 12. You've heard your friends make a joke about race, make a joke about a racial stereotype, but you we're too afraid to say anything, you didn't want to cause offence. INVALID: The only person stopping you here is yourself. The difference between this and the previous statement is, you can talk to your friends here and also, they are your "friends". If they are truly your friends, they will understand that you took offense and they will be more careful next time. If they are offended with you confronting them, then find new friends. From my understanding, privilege is an advantage or special right given only to a specific group of people, in this case - race. The determining factor in each statement should be your race to qualify as an objective assessment point. In my opinion, I found that most of these statements do not qualify to obtain a more accurate result to the experiment. If anything, the experiment, to an extent, harmed the participants by making them think they are somehow victims or oppressed which is not a healthy mentality. Even the paticipants themselves are surprised by the results, and they are the primary witnesses of their personal experiences.

@@lesleykramer7207 I dont think anyone was saying that privilege does not exist. The statement was that if you want to experiment on whether privilege has something to do with race, they were asking the wrong questions and making people feel they were victims when they never saw themselves that way. Because the truth is, there is nothing to be gained by seeing yourself as a victim. Everyone should look at their privileges, because most likely, you will find that you have a lot, despite having less than others. It is just weird. Nowadays, it is considered a privilege to be a victim. How can one assess their own privilege when the victims are asserting their victimhood as a privilege in itself? It makes people ask... who really has the privilege here? So yes I get access to a private school when you dont... but because of that you get to label me all sorts of things while silencing my right to defend myself because that would be racist... I think everyone needs to start examining their privileges, victim or not.

There are many employment ads that demands for 'Bilingual speakers only', and no by that not English and Malay, 80% of the time they're referring to Chinese and English but they just don't say it out loud (well some do).

How is this movement going to change the fact that a chinese will always have a higher chance of having a boss of the same race? And questions like “ only have 2 or less food stalls u can choose from” ... this is obviously targeted mainly at malays because majority of them are muslims and hence can only eat from halal certified stalls.

What is Privilege???? 1) Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you’ve never had a job. 2) Privilege is wearing $300 Beats headphones while living on public assistance. 3) Privilege is having a Smartphone with a Data plan, which you receive no bill for. 4) Privilege is living in public subsidized housing where you don’t have a utility or phone bill and where rising property taxes, rents and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on your table, which is largely covered by Government Food Stamps. 5) Privilege is having free health insurance for you and your family that's paid for by working taxpayers who often can't afford proper health coverage for their own families. 6) Privilege is having multiple national organizations promoting and protecting just your race alone -- that are subsidized by federal tax dollars. 7) Privilege is having access to a national college fund that supports only one race. 8) Privilege is having a television network that supports only one race. 9) Privilege is having most of the media news networks refuse to cover incidents wherein one race (one-eighth of the population) commits 50% of the crimes. 10) Privilege is the ability to go march against, and protest against anything that triggers you, without worrying about calling off from work and the consequences that accompany such. 11) Privilege is having as many children as you want, regardless of your employment status, and be able to send them off to daycare or pre-school you don’t pay for. 12) Privilege is being able to vote in many states without showing a driver's license, voter ID card or other credentials -- just because your race claims they should be exempt from such requirements. 13) Privilege is being able to riot, loot, commit arson and tear down historic monuments without consequences -- just because you don't like folks such as Columbus, U. S. Grant or even Lincoln. 14) Privilege is being able to get into almost any college of your choosing based on your race, not your grades or merit. 15) Privilege is having most of your life paid for by the working men and women who DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH RISING TAXES AND COSTS! you know, those you now call “PRIVILEGED.”

This is a real thing We can’t blame any individual for this problem. It’s in my opinion all people problem that we all has to resolve and seriously work on ourselves to fix. It’s not necessary a white or black, or Indian, or Asian, or European issue or even in today’s world directly responsibility. We all plays a part of this issue regardless if we agree or not. We all need to stop to observe our own doing in racism. It’s a real problem that we all has to work on to eradicate. Stop hating each other as it’s senseless.

The more you are LIKE the majority, the more privilege you have. Religion, race, food, music, etc. This is how the world works. In Asia, most ads show Asians. In the middle east, most ads show arabs. Minority groups will always be at a disadvantage because humans will ALWAYS feel more comfortable with what they KNOW. The more different you are, the more discomfort you will cause to those who aren't used to your differences. I am not saying this is good, or ideal, or that "this is how it is so we shouldn't try to stop it." Just explaining what the issue is in more detail. You can combat negative effects to a certain degree, but this will always exist. It is literally impossible to fully get rid of it. We ought to always try to bring equality to the world, but we must also fully understand that this is how things are. I personally think the best way to combat the negative effects of majority privilege, is for minorities to spread out and befriend as many of the majority as possible. That way you normalize your presence as much as possible. Make yourself known, so that you are not unknown. By doing such you will spread comfort to the majority about your minority group. This is the primary way I see. Let em know what other things you guys think?

When I heard the statement "your boss is the same race as you" and I'm like "huh?". I don't think being a certain race secure you a position somewhere on top as it depends on your work performance. You can't judge someone's performance through a stereotype 🤨 As a minority in my country, I could say that language is not a privilege problem imo. I speak Chinese and Indonesian but many of my friends speak Javanese or other local languages when they're together in a group (esp when they're from the same area or same ethnicity). I asked them to teach me; which they did and I learned bit by bit of their language. And vice versa. But most of the time if my friends start conversing in their own language, I wouldn't mind either. It could be they're talking about private things or because they're used to speak that certain language to the other person. I know how weird it feels like when you speak language B to a person that you usually speak language A with. If they speak in their own language for a prolonged period of time, chances are they do not want you to be involved in their conversation.

Usually employers hire people of their own race . For example my mum went for an interview and all of the employees were of a certain race and their hr was of the same race after the hr was fired people of other races started becoming employees as well. Take Vancouver for example most of the jobs require mandarin. Which crosses out almost all of the potential employees of another races. Countries with lots of immigrants are not discriminatory towards people of colour but towards immigrants I’m general.

My first time working for a boss that was close to the same race as me and she was the only black person with a seemingly completely black crew. (We had 2 mixed women with caramel color, a couple Latinos, a darker skinned Korean guy, and me). I’ve seen POC with better work ethic and credentials get skipped for a boss’ position due to race more times than I can count and it saddens me to see people say that the question “Is your boss the same race as you?” Is not relevant in this social experiment. People who are closer to the top when it comes to the hierarchy of race do get the privilege of “boss”. These “bosses” choose people they feel more comfortable around, which would be more often than not, people of the same race or people closer to their class. Making it harder for people on the lower end of the hierarchy to become a boss or to even receive proper jobs at all. This question will remain relevant when it comes to privilege until it stops being one. Those who are affected by this privilege would be able to speak on the affects. If you are positively affected then you wouldn’t care for or really see the negative affects to be able to speak on them.

Meanwhile, the country of origin for the immegrant fails to accept citizens who except immegrants, no resiprocity. Therefore, the citizens of the country excepting immegrants from a country with no resiprosity, in totality, limit the opportunities for their native citizens by increasing competition, setting diversity targets and excluding natural born from taking a high paying job in the immigrants country of origin. Only a finite number of jobs in the world and limiting natural born citizens, by any means should be prevented.

I would be interested in having this experiment repeated with the exact same people but with a different angle. Instead of race, do one experiment where it's based on sex. And then instead of sex, do one experiment where it's based on religion. There are many of these questions where the answer would be different depending on which part of my identity I was examining. A white person? A woman? A member of a persecuted religious minority? A tall person? An English-speaker? My IQ? My physical attractiveness? My mental health? My sartorial choices? Majority privilege is real, but it is real all across the world, and in all different categories. I grew up in an area where I was in the race majority, the religion majority, and the sex minority. I have lived in 3 US states and 2 countries, and now live in an area where I am in the race, religious, sex, height, and language minority. If someone wants to be a victim, there is always a part of their identity which can supply that victimhood and an available 'oppressor' to blame for their misfortune. Equality of opportunity is the best we can hope for. After that, it's our choices that truly define us.

questions don’t relate to privilege at all. “If you’ve been the only person of your race in a room...” so how would that turn out if you were non black and was raised in Nigeria???

I'm really sorry but these questions were so stupid even though you ended up staying at the back you are more privileged than 6.5 billions of people.

When I worked at Mc Donnald as a student in Paris, my my director and supervisor were arabs while I'm white. I never felt it was a problem or disadvantaged. But according to those anti-racists, having a boss of a different race is a problem in life, a social disadvantage. In my country in France, we call this racism. However, I'm my own boss now, and socially, I'm better off. So I guess there is some lesson to be learned in this, right?

It could be a disadvantage if you have to conform to the beliefs and culture of that race. I think it would be fair to say that in France some arabs are more well-integrated and have a bit of a french identity. It might be a bit different in the Singaporean context because people from different races are able to be themelves and are encouraged to stay close to their culture. Not that in France you are not allowed to. But I think the fact that the french language itself connects people from different races makes this situation a little different.

These are more questions for representation not privilege

If I moved to China I would also be right at the back, even if my grandparents moved there and I was born there

@@yee9222 Why do people comment without a second thought this day. She saying that China cares far more for their people FAR more. So being white in China is automatic gives you less privilege because they are a minority. That's just normal. You be told go back to your country and be hesitant to talk to you or give you a job. Thats just how it is when you are a minority. Worst case be if they try to not give you access to school, healthcare , jobs and put you for prison based on color/belief.
