I won't derail this thread any further by going into the Megan Markle debacle here. We have no idea if she really is a manipulative schemer because we don't know her.
I wanted to make my feelings clear on casual racism that I was noticing on this thread and on others, yes it is accepted by the majority at the moment that it is acceptable to do this but I wanted to voice my opinion on it as I think this is going to further the divide in the long run. It is hypocritical and unfair.
People have been respectful of your opinion and are allowed to disagree. Also, no one, literally no one is accusing you of being a racist. You keep saying it and reads as incredibly defensive. Especially as you're the one flinging the accusation around.
Pointing out privilege isn't racist. Pointing out that some have socio economic privilege isn't classist. Pointing out male privilege in the workplace isn't sexist. Everyone is open to critique
Also, my white working class Irishman husband also stated there's more to the discrimination of the Irish then "race" and that the socio-political and religious elements should not be dismissed.
Also, no one is retroactively applying white privilege to victims of Nazi Germany and slavery. Don't make straw men - it's intellectually dishonest.
Anyway. Agree to disagree. I won't de rail this thread any further.
