Re: Privilege

[inkdust]

I think one reason the term privilege is often used is as part of an attempt to restructure the general perception of society as categories of either "normal" or "disadvantaged." Instead of looking at things from the majority perspective, where those with a disadvantage are simply seen as such, it's trying to include minority perspective, from which standpoint the majority exercises an unearned advantage (unearned meaning not given by merit) that it is often unaware of (see my other comment below). I think the word privilege is partly an attempt to increase majority awareness of their lack of disadvantage, and thereby increase their awareness of others' disadvantage. That's certainly how it was used at my college.

Re: Privilege

[(Anonymous)]

I know, I figured that out after several years of puzzling over social justice language. It would be really helpful if people actually explained this on occasion. Even when you ask, you don't usually get such a nice explanation. When you change the meaning of a word, you can't just expect everyone to magically know what you mean! And it's unfair to twist that around and say "but it's about -ism!" and pretend that anyone who dares ask what you are talking about or dares say that that word doesn't mean that must be evil.
