Rex Murphy: The contemptible concept of 'white privilege' is just ugly, angry racism

But this is a bullshit thing to say because everywhere in the world this happens. Do you think all the rich Chinese/Indian/Iranian/whoever’s family got their wealth from some equal and balanced system? No they fucking got it through all forms of unequal opportunity and likely taking advantage of people in the past we their races are never brought up when we talk about privilege. Furthermore many or even most whites have had no such privilege, so can you imagine how it is to here how you have been on some uneven footing above others when it’s not even true. My grandparents were German, at one point refugees, they fled to Canada with nothing, never owned slaves, and for years treated like shit by many other white Canadians. Ecause of their “Nazi” accents. They worked their whole lives to provide better for me and the rest of my family and now you think I’m privileged because of any of this somehow?
