Excellent opinion piece about "white privilege"

There are some significant struggles with appropriately understanding causality ITT.
You already admitted it was a bad way to measure Qataris. It was a bad way to measure South Korea and Singapore in the 60s. Only a fool would play a game that a racist piece of shit gets to determine the rules of.
If the Qataris didn’t have oil their country would be a sh*thole. Ditto for Saudi Arabia and UES.
You have no logical argument so you resort to the “racist” card. Quite predictable with people of your ideological background and quite pathetic that you have to resort to childish name-calling,

One perspective:
You guys come from multiple generations where all your folks were kept illiterate, dumb, without family structure and then see how fast your families develop a culture of success. There is lots of white trash that never broke out of it, either. Poverty is hard to escape, particularly without good defining influences. This needs explained?
Myopic. Expand your range.
Sure. They intersect. So what can I do about being white besides the not being a racist asshole?
Do you? I don’t other than a benign adjective like tall or short.
Rule 2:
When provided with averages, ask to see the distribution of the subset population measured by the average.
What’s really interesting about that is that there was no immigration laws to violate. No immigration system, just unchecked entry of foreigners. And how did that work out for the natives?
One of the more stupid leftist talking points, in my opinion.
Great, another wishy-washy answer with no meat in it. Yes, please skip to the end, and tell me, oh wise teacher, what you would recommend all of us racists SOBs do to remediate 'white privilege'. You have a dozen posts in this thread with at least half directly in response to me, yet I have seen zero actual recommendations, changes or substance in any of the posts. If you have something, bring it.
My logical argument is if GDP isn't an indicator of racial superiority of Saudis and Qataris, and if it indicated that South Korea and Singapore went from racially inferior to racially superior over the course of a single generation, then it is not a good indicator of anything but the value of goods and services produced by an economy. Why would I argue with you in good faith when this GDP situation already required you to resort to special pleading twice?
Rule 3: always muddy the water by requiring epistemic certainty from any one you disagree with
So far you have dodged my questions 3 times.
Racial inequality in America is due to the racist history of America and not inherent racial differences.
I already addressed this to medic
You still think that it is a weird coincidence that black people don't complete college at the same level as white people. Why should I skip to systemic solutions when you don't even acknowledge the systemic problem?
I already know that you misunderstand and misuse statistics and underlying causality in a Bigly way.
If you intend to shoot your mouth off asserting that skin color as a binary White/nonwhite variable creates an inherent and unearned advantage1 relative to, say, consistent non-stupid decision making over time, and you can't do the base level vetting/set up of demonstrating that your assertion is valid, then you're not a problem solver...you're a Race peddler.
Your credo: sound persuasive enough and you win.
1. "Advantage" needs to be defined. Ill leave that to you as it requires some goal destination.
No, you actually haven't. The deflection you're offering is telling me a lot though.
I'll leave it to you to let us all know how many racially loaded threads a board lib has started, and how many a con has started. Thanks, Brad.
But why should he jump to systemic solutions if you don't acknowledge the systemic problem first??
Go ahead and conjure up the problem he knows fluently in his head, acknowledge it, THEN he'll tell you how to fix it.... but only after you capitulate to facts or his yelling (whichever causes you to believe in White Priviledge).
Because, hey, world problems to solve, but he can't be bothered to point to metrics and valid statistical models that aren't half-baked. You gotta figure out how to make his assertion work out on your own, bud.
I already acknowledged that being white is a huge problem. I've asked him for solutions. He's offered some mumbling about inflation and not being a racist asshole. I stated that I'm not a racist asshole and that if that's the only real issue, the left should address racist assholes instead of a generic white person. I asked what else. So far he's offered nothing.
I'm trying to find solutions to being white that I can directly affect. I don't get the giant empty jar that could be filled with solutions. Why is it staying empty?
Because you're just a troll that board libs have figured out is a waste of trying to engage?
