In reply to the discussion: do men, who do not believe in white male privilege/entitlement oppose affirmative action? [View all]dawg
(10,621 posts)I guess my post above doesn't really answer your question.
Personally, I think if someone didn't believe in white male privilege, they would be horribly inconsistent and nonsensical if they supported affirmative action. Why give an unfair advantage to one group over another one if the playing-field is already level? It makes no sense!
Of course, from my perspective, I can't imagine how anyone can be deluded into thinking white males don't have significant advantages over other groups. There may be some individual white males who are disadvantaged compared to certain individual members of other groups. But on the whole, there is a tremendous benefit, and I doubt a week goes by that I don't get some kind of personal advantage or leg up because I am a white male.
