You lost me at 'check your privilege', sorry. English is indeed not my first language so this may very well be a valid sentence but IDK... >>;

...Google sees it as valid. Or existent at least. Strange...
English language, stop being so unpredictable! Some of us aren't native speakers!

[kindlycoyote.livejournal.com]

Sorry! English is a unwieldy beast. I apologize as a future teacher of the language.

'Check your privilege' is a slang way of saying 'you are being a race-centric idiot'. Basically, because white people have privileges as a majority in America and other places.

So the OP is saying that since some people believe those two characters were meant to be white, that they are ethno-centric. Basically, they believe that as they themselves are white, that of course everyone who looks like them in animation is white too. Whether the people are actually like that is a whole other story.

Oh, no need, no need! I'm sorry that my Google searching skills failed to deliver. ^^;

My language is directly descended from Latin so...xDDD

[kindlycoyote.livejournal.com]

It's usually hard to find some definitions as language changes relatively quickly, so I totally understand.

And yes, figuring out a language with different roots is pretty hard at times. I'm leaning a latin-based language and I sometimes struggle to remember things that are so basic to it!

[royalbk.livejournal.com]

Out of curiosity, which latin-based language are you learning? ^^;

[kindlycoyote.livejournal.com]

Spanish, although I hope to move on to Portuguese after getting a handle on it. I learned a tiny bit while spending some time in Brasil and I loved it, but Spanish is more practical for me and I enjoy that language as well. (I have quite a few languages on my list to learn, but I can't afford classes or advanced computer programs so I mostly watch shows in the language, listen to music, play games, and read books with a translator handy on my iPod.)

> 'Check your privilege' is a slang way of saying 'you are being a race-centric idiot'.

though in this instance you are correct it ain't just about race

[kindlycoyote.livejournal.com]

True. I have heard it mostly in conjunction with race, but it sometimes is used for things with wealth/social status/etc. Thanks for pointing that out! :)

[(Anonymous)]

It's a newly invented phrase but it basically means to be aware that you may be more priveledged (in whatever the topic) than those you are talking about, and therefore have no right to have that opinion because you aren't in the same position.

Personally, I think a lot of people have gone overboard with that, but I guess it's valid in some cases. In this one... I think the secret is a bit strange. Suzaku looks European but he's supposed to be Japanese, and Lelouch looks Japanese but he's supposed to be Britanian. Maybe the authors were trolling the fandom.
