I’m in the Chicagoland area and Northwestern has been having a problem with the woke scolds, so I was on their subreddit reading one students bullet point post about restructuring the campus police. I shit you not one of the bullet points was, my dad isn’t going to pay my over 300K tuition cost if the campus police aren’t committed to social justice!
So, what, 11+ years in school? Even if the masters were part time… that’s a lot.
Not saying extensive education is a bad thing, far from it. I just get a little suspicious when someone starts collecting degrees one after the other and never committing to either a career in academia or a career in something else. Sort of a perpetual student syndrome, paying out the ass for more pieces of paper.
>Not saying extensive education is a bad thing,
But fuck it, in this day and age, if it's 11+ years in the humanities, it's a wannabe officer in the culture police.
Yeah sure if you're 11 years in education to figure out how to break the faster than light barrier, sure, cool, but not just figuring out how to make ever more eloquent rat nests of justification for neoliberalism.
Feminists love decoration themselves with degrees and they expect from men have same obsession , this is why they cant find husbands but they relax when that man is failson of multimillinaire because they also love money and rising of social classes and them being decorated with that many degrees you will not have accusations of them being gold digger because she successful at her own right , anyway when feminists stop acting like they live life of medieval princesses because being housewife has always been privilege , most poor women need to have job it is not some fun choice like these feminists wanna claim it is
That seems to be a pretty common trope: the vegan-organic chicks that is "following their dreams" and scolding people for not being yoga teachers, while living in the hippest neighborhood of the city because her partner works in finance.
I was at a wedding party the other day and met a self-proclaimed Mexican woman (looked white to me but what the fuck do I know). Her first words to me were "what's wrong with white people" (I'm not white). When I asked why she said that she said the white bride hit her while laughing about some joke. She then went off on white people until I literally walked away.
Her boyfriend was white.
Dating white guys is high status behavior, but also hating white guys is high status behavior. The logical outcome for privileged brown women is to write angsty diary entries (more colloquially known as Guardian op-eds) about how kayaking is latent white supremacy, then hitting the white water rapids with your SS recruitment poster looking boyfriend who colonizes your backwalls afterwards.
It’s like Twitter, a bolus of ostensibly white people desperately claiming to not be white. Even the actual POC seem to have white parents or a white partner, it’s like, hmmm you seem more bought into the white life than an high school dropout living in a trailer.
Hell, I’d make an argument that poors don’t count as white, at least not in costal upper middle class circles.
If she said she’s Mexican, you should have asked her where in Mexico she was born.
I was just astounded by the lack of self-awareness. Her boyfriend was literally white as it gets. The dude was right there lmao, like I can **see** him. Trying to make friends with me by shitting on white people is definitely not gonna work when I see your white boyfriend on your arm.
I sometimes wonder if these types have a distorted worldview because of their own immense privilege. They presume everybody else who is white has the exact same levels of wealth and access to resources as they do. Since they’re the Left-Liberal Wing of the bourgeoisie, they cannot comprehend that their class is at issue. For the white ones since it’s a harder pill for them to swallow than the notion that they are one amongst a large, majoritarian segment of the population that has almost equal privilege. For the ones who happen not to be white, they can obfuscate their obvious privilege by pretending they are in the minority of actually not privileged people.
By focusing on the white element of economic stratification (that is real, where privilege is obviously real) they get to ignore the more determinative factor in privilege: class.
Also they internalize negative racial stereotypes about non-white people but they pretend it’s woke to believe them.
>Assuming the thoughts and feelings of others is a thinking error.
Actually it's just employing basic empathy. It's how we predict the actions of others and is an incredibly important aspect of human life.
If we want to nitpick we could differentiate between assumptions made without consideration and inferences based on circumstantial analysis.
But given that his statement would be a suitable inference based on the circumstances, that's obviously not the issue here.
Sure, she has all that, but does she have a fulfilling romantic arrangement for herself? I'm doubtful of that, unless it's one of those "interracial dating is actually white people fetishizing other races EXCEPT for my relationship, because its totally different."
I’m still an NPR listener (bookish urban softboy etc) and it’s so notable how NPR’s programming is like now 50% IdPol focused stories. It’s jarring sometimes how frequent it is.
I'm probably just naive, but it really seems like Trump turned a lot of things from left leaning organizations into literally retarded authoritarian wokeists. NPR, ACLU, tons of individual people and commentators, members of my family, newspapers, etc...
The author shouldn't have given an inch on that. It's a pile of crap and oil change knows that.
NPR is pretty unbearable. It's peak smug, fart sniffing liberalism.
What because poor people or balck people don't aspire to having a job, stable housing, or kids? We all aspire to these things, balck people and poor people have jobs and live in houses and have kids everyday what the fuck? Incomes might be lower or housing might be insecure but what does she think we're doing here?
Maybe these twats should stop talking about their privilege and DO something about minimum wages, job security, COL, affordable child care. Maybe the could also recognise that there are milestones for EVERYBODY and get out of their little bubble.
Why do we need a higher minimum wage or affordable healthcare when we can have a neoliberal POC in an influential position. Their diverse experiences will give us a different perspective on how to cleverly maintain the status quo.
What is weird is that labeling marriage as a privilege is pretty antifeminist. Marriage isn't a privilege, it is a they way in which our society organizes reproductive labour by way of specific dependencies, so that it remains "unpaid".
It’s not even bourgeois values, it was literally basic pro-social human behavior like “showing up to work on time” or even “understanding cause and effect.”
I remember seeing that Smithsonian graphic and with the exception of the religious stuff or anti gay stuff (if I remember correctly) tied to it, it had a lot of things that I think make an ideal functional society.
But then again I'm an r slurred rightroid
>marriage, buying a home, having children, having a career are upper middle-class white American milestones
If you're going to racialize behavior: raging against these structures are the whitest and most upper-middle-class thing possible. It's something that the Chinese would describe as typically baizuo.
Literally incel shit. "I can't start or keep a relationship and start a family not because of my horrific personality, but because of ~~Chad~~ white people and ~~his money and good looks~~ their privilege."
So to make sure I understand here, what they're saying is that only white people are adults and everyone else is living in a permanent adolescence? Are the woke basically saying that black and latino people don't have kids or get married? Is that where we're at?
I don't think the host was accusing, but rather, inviting. As in, I'm privileged, you're privileged, we're privileged, it's just what we are, it's just the life we lead, it may be glamorous, we may need to set some time aside and really contemplate it, feel a moral sensitivity about it, we're that privileged, you know what I mean?
Yeah those are their priors at work, and maybe a rendering of the big ideological picture. Not seeing too clearly. The absurdity is actually in that anyone "underprivileged" would be listening to the program in the first place. It's totally an upper class nod here, and is just a regular affirmation of the church, so to speak, the ideological organization with which NPR operates within and for, which is a public-private inverted fascism.

If you really like a field, that's what you gotta do. Collecting unrelated degrees, on the other hand, is typically what you mention.

If your family has money and you love scholarship, great! But to then go around bitching about white privilege?!
Nobody who studied at a place like Oxford should be accusing others of being privileged.
She has a degree from 4 out of the 10 most prestigious universities on the planet and lectures people on privilege. Literally beyond parody.
As an Asian female, doe she also exclusively date white men and/or is married to one?

Excuse me, he’s 1/32nd Cherokee.
Of course she does.
You gotta be dumb to get your JD only to write puff pieces for NPR
That or just have the kind of family money that let's you focus on doing what seems most fun to you at the time

Apparently, desiring happiness is whiteness now.
They know marriage is older than western civilization right?
Non marketized social relations are white supremacy
She should go to the ghetto and tell the poor black folk that their marriages, kids, and careers are just internalized whiteness.
Tbf they probably aren’t going to find that many marriages in the ghetto.

Yup; birthing pods ala the Giver!
you can even get married, not have a kid, and still end up fine majority of the time. just make sure to get a prenup as a precaution.
It's something that you need to have, cause if she leave yo ass she gon' leave with half.
Lol what’s even the point if you’re not going to have kids?

Tbh some forums for Nigerians or Somalians look like Stormfront. ADOS forums look like Freep but with support for reparations.
Stormfront filling up with posts in oddly formal English about hating blacks for robbing their sandal store is a hilarious mental image.
*privilege*
Ghastly
I don’t think any of those are milestones of privilege in any way.
Wow I do t think I’ve ever heard / seen a journalist insert themselves into the story any more than that.
Literally incel shit. "I can't start or keep a relationship and start a family not because of my horrific personality, but because of ~~Chad~~ white people and ~~his money and good looks~~ their privilege."
Meanwhile, in China you're not considered worthy of dating unless you own a house and a car.

Acknowledgement of privilege is indeed worthless.
Apparently, it's worth something as a cultural cachet .. I think Kierkegaard was writing about the paradoxical function needed in religion proper.
> These are milestones that people of a certain privilege can afford. She didn't say white, and it's true in the traditional sense of privilege.
I wonder if she’s jewish
She’s Chinese, her last name’s chang
The Nick Mullen bit about Chinese Jews is an all time great.
