    I think the advantages of that are somewhat muddled by the fact that in the general most dems will vote for whichever candidate wins in the primary regardless; though I've heard otherwise about some independent party voters.

    I don't think it's an accurate term, again explain why the Asian Population doesn't correlate with the Black Population in prison stats. I haven't got one explanation yet for that disconnect.

    Trump doesn't have to spend on winning the primary anywhere. He will have more money to spend on the general. :tired::sleepy:

    Doubtful. I have an Asian sister-in-law who's sensitive about being seated next to the kitchen in restaurants & ignored by sales clerks. She got that treatment at a local jewelry store here when she was visiting. Didn't buy anyhing. Their loss, cuz she's rally rich.

    I think you have, but it doesn't sink in. "White privilege" is a something of a misnomer, because Asians aren't white and their experience has been different. Asians are less involved in street crime than whites, because at least the Korean, Japanese, and Chinese components have a culture with a tradition of strong family values. African-Americans, on the other hand, come from a sub-culture that still shows the effects of past institutionalized segregation. Not their fault. And it wasn't that far in the past--1960s. Since then, we've made considerable progress in trying to eliminate that, but the lingering effects remain. Blacks and Hispanics, like the Irish and Italians of yore, live in high crime areas, and people come to associate their color or ethnicity with crime. So whether or not an official policy of stop-and-frisk exists, they're targeted for more intensive scrutiny from police, and if they move to white neighborhoods, from their neighbors as well. And courts and jurors are more inclined to convict them and throw the book at them. Capish?

    I got your point. Pardon me for being vague with my last post. My point I was trying to make is that a lot of people can be discriminatory, dickish, rude, and outright mean to others for a wide variety of reasons unrelated to racism or white privilege. But when you buy into the white privilege narrative, it pushes the notion that a non-white person is on the receiving end of rude actions or discrimination, is because of systemic racism, and they are in a perpetual state of victimhood, and society is white-biased and designed to keep them down.

    You're correct according to my sociology textbook. It says that corporate violence - a form of white collar crime - is responsible for far more death than violent crime.

    I bolded stuff... you don't have to read that.
