Re: Privilege

[surferofdreams]

Language has a tendency to be fluid, especially when considering the connotation of a word, as opposed to the dictionary-definition of a word. This sometimes makes it difficult to know the exact meaning of a person's written language if you are not familiar with their manner of speaking, or if you don't know the entire context of what they are talking about.

My idea of what privilege means, in social justice language:

The assumption that some part or all parts of a person closely resembles the standard of worth to a particular society, whether this is explicitly stated or not.

In the southeast United States, a person is (generally) most valued by society if they are white, cis-male, protestant/christian, college-educated, and middle-to-upperclass, with a "good" job, a wife, and a few children. This is the embodiment of what is known as the "American Dream", and it excludes a whole hell of a lot of people.

Everyone else is judged against this standard, and if you fail on any counts, you have less privilege.

This is my definition of "privilege", as defined by social justice language. It could be something completely different to someone else, because that is how language works. A word has both a technical definition, as seen in dictionaries, and a contextual definition, which must be understood within the context of its use.
