Re: "In multicultural cities Japanese/Koreans are gaining 'white privilege'"

Is it wrong that this doesn't seem crazy to me?

Assuming that we're talking about privilege as a complicated and multi-variable thing, the idea that Asian-Americans are regarded differently as regards race in comparison to other POCs seems reasonable. And that could, and probably does, result in a kind of privilege, comparable in some places to white privilege, even while Asian-Americans are still minorities.

OFC if you're just turning it into "Asian-Americans are the white devil now, hate their honky asses" then yes, that is crazy.

Oh no, you said "Americans." Your argument is invalid for US-centricism.


(No, I agree. People who point out the argument about white privilege also note that other groups that are now taken for granted as white in America, such as Irish and Italians, were considered nonwhite at points in the past because back then they lacked what is now called white privilege.)
