White Privilege

Con's position was impossible to defend anyways

I don't completely buy your explanation of black neighbourhoods.

It's not simply the colour of people's skins, it's also about shared culture. For sure people like the familiar and probably more importantly fear the unknown. But is that all about the colour of people's skin or about how they act and their culture. If you take something as uncontroversial as food preferences, there are clear cultural food differences. What about how people dress?

It would be an interesting exercise to take two different racial groups who were equally divided by say religion. Would they divide on racial lines, or religious lines. Is skin colour more important or is culture and traditions, shared views and beliefs, commonality of behavioural norms.

If you are right - then forever Western countries are doomed to racial division. If not then there is some hope, that over time racial division will fall as people coalesce around a more common set of shared cultural and behavioural norms.

Your profile says you live in the US, so we'll go with that. In the U.S.A- the majority of people are white, and it is statistically proven in many studies that you recognize and prefer other more by default when they're similar to you. Consider how there are "black" neighborhoods, this is because they feel comfortable with one another. The majority of some countries BEING white makes it so they are often "trusted" more or at least given less suspicion than other races. There are PLENTY of other arguments on why white privilege may be intentional/and or helping businesses or whatever- but really this is just the most bare-bones explanation I can give you.

There is no such thing as white privilege. Period.

white privilege exists

this'll be a doozy

anyway I dont like long form debates because I dont have the patience, which is why I prefer the forums.

Here are my unasked thoughts:
There is a social concept called Internalized Racism. You have probably at some point thought that all asian or all black people "look the same." They think the same about us white people. We as humans have a better ability to differentiate faces of the "race" we were raised with. Doesnt matter what "race" you are. It depends on who you were around growing up and who you are comfortable around. Their is a very interesting survey online that you could take. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html

I know its not white privilege but it is similar.
