Thank you for your well-considered response. I will take you at your word that you aim to improve the world.
Yes, I would be interested in the studies you cited. I'm always interested in learning. I'm not some idiot, I'm familiar with research methodology, conducting research, and reading research papers. Just throwing that out there because, honestly, the way you asked, almost assuming I'd reject anything that didn't support my view was insulting. I'm very familiar with cognitive dissonance, thanks.
What I was describing, based on my experiences, some subjective, some not is how I view white privilege. My aim was to explain it in a way that would dispel the common misconceptions surrounding the term.
I take exception to white privilege that I have had the benefit of being referred to as minor advantages, especially as compared to what many of my Black family members have been through.
Since you're a person of science, you know not everything can be measured and recorded in a lab. Human behaviour can only be measured that way to a certain extent.
Subjective narratives, personal experience, etc..absolutely have a place here. In fact, those are quite commonly employed in Psychology, for example.
Just because you haven't experienced something, or don't understand it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It feels like you're hiding behind pure science because you don't want to acknowledge the existence of a real societal problem, but you also don't want to look like you're coming straight out and denying it.
I look forward to seeing those studies.
