Something to consider though. Thinking about the tattoo comment.Let's say you were to take 50 different other white guys with red hair and different tattoos. And shoot them out to that job. How many of them would get the job?Statistically speaking, not all of them would get the job. Some of them might likely be turned down because of their tattoos, depending on the style.So would it really be fair to label that incident as white priviledge? What if the guy just had a good personality to match and it's what sealed the deal over his tattoos and otherwise strange appearance?There are always other factors in things.Which is why I practically hate when the word privilege is thrown around like some insult and shame train bullshit.

My white privilege helps me out by preventing me from commenting on the way it is socially acceptable for a black man to write about the experiences of white people when a white man writing about the experiences of black people would be labelled ignorant.
