Privilege measurement - a refinement

creakyknees [Edit] [Delete] 15:07, 11 June '14

I know that 'white males' are treated differently and privilegedly
BUT sometimes the way we are treated makes us uncomfortable as well (yeah I know its mild by comparrison, but we would still like to have SOME differentiation from some monsters)

so here is a question I would like added to the 'White Male' super privileged classification.

a) White male who is comfortable getting in a taxi, on his own, driven by a white male.
b) White male who is not comfortable getting in a taxi driven by a white male, but does it nevertheless, and just suffers in silence the offensive comments.
c) White male who has long since given up trying to convince the taxi driver that either a) he is not 'Like him' and it offensive that it should be assumed that they share viewpoints or b) try to convince him by logical argument, that his conclusions are mistaken. And prefers to actually get in a taxi driven by an asian. Taxi's on ranks dont like this though, so I have to wait until the white taxi driver has taken another fare.
