Show me examples of Asian privilege or Black privilege existing then maybe we can have something to complain about.

I'm not talking about other countries. I'm talking about my country. Why should I worry myself on what other countries are doing? Why do you always deflect and worry what other people are doing? Don't you know what the expression, "stay in your lane" means? # was drilled into me in basic training for weapons training... In any case it means mind your own business.

And yet isn't that what progressives are asking people to do, worry about people in other countries. In Europe, progressives demand that countries open there borders to people from other countries. The same is happening in the US. Refugees and illegal immigrants are demanding access to the US, and progressives are demanding that the US allow them.
If you do not care about other countries, why should the white elites care about people that are not like them? Yet they are constantly told they are privileged and must acquiesce to others.
As a US citizen (I am assuming you are one based on how you are talking) what do you say to the fact that you have a privilege that most else in the world don't have. What are you doing to make amends for the evils your privilege has wrought on the world?

That may be the case but whites aren't the sole dominant demographic anymore. For one, we are outnumbered by all other minorities combined. So that alone says that given an even distribution, whites should at the most makeup no more than 50% of a workforce/list of promotions/school attendees/whathaveyou.

It's really sad that you are so closed minded that you see attempting to bring diversity into places with traditionally less diversity as a type of reverse racism.
The refugee situation is a completely different monster than what we are talking about right now. Those people are entering our country because they are fleeing a war torn area. It's what refugees do. That's how they've behaved since war has existed. To shoo them away because of some overhyped fears of what they may do to us is just inhuman.

This is a vastly oversimplified way of looking at things. If whites have historically been the most populous race in this country, they have already had a foothold. When other groups come in or grow, they don't just get to say, "now we are 20% of the population, we want 20% of the wealth!"
Also the facts that people of Asian background outperform whites on everything you listed, graduates, iq, wealth, employment, less criminal prosecution, etc. So why has white Privilege not kept them from succeeding?

Who is entering the US fleeing a war torn area?
The current refugee crisis in Europe is not normal, it is unprecedented, never before in all these decades of war has there been such a mass influx of refugees.
Care to source that claim? Because I really don't believe you.

Seriously? I have to source this? You mean that millions of refugees have been crossing into Europe for decades now? This whole situation that has been a major point of debate for the past two years is not something out of the ordinairy?

You can count on me to ignore it too. I don't really care for people constantly disrespecting my words and thoughts like you are doing.
Fine thats your choice. I do not feel like I disrespected your words, I was just disagreeing with you, but if you feel that way I honestly apologize. You think the universities teaching people that white people are all privileged and we must challenge this system is not anti-white, and I think it is. I was not meaning to personally attack you.
Remember though, you were the one who came on this thread saying ""Though I do think the conclusion you've reached in the OP is absurd and based on a flimsy connection you made because you have a need to seek out oppression against yourself. I'm not really trying because I've had tons of these conversations with people and they never go well. I can't reason away people's persecution complexes."
I am not going to derail the thread, I would love for you to start a thread on white privilege and we could discuss it. The OP said their seems to be an anti white agenda.
