Your first point is implied though. Not every white or asian family has money, especially during this era where the economy is complete crap. More and more white/asian families are becoming unfortunate. I worked 30 hours a week while going to school, and I had a friend that worked 40-50 hours a week. Statistics aren't reliable because let's say for example "40% of white college students don't have to work while going to school" (made up stat). Well in that case, 60% of white american students DO have to work. So just because 40% don't have to work and have it easy, is it ok for us to speak in generalities and exclude the 60% from any special privilege? See, the problem is this whole thing is put into terms of race. Not every black person is the same. Not every white person is the same. Stats don't account for individuals. We can't screw over one individual because other individuals have it easy. I think ten times wealthy seems wayyyy high btw, that would imply that black people make 10 grand a year, and white people make 100, 000, lol. My family is pretty average. We prob make 70 grand a year. So by 10 times, that would be like saying the average black family makes 7 grand a year which theres no way, lol. Unless they work a couple days a week.
I'm not implying anything, the majority of matriculats to medical school are from upper middle class families who have money. Not everyone is the same but it's too bothersome to individualize people based on their differences than their similarities.
I've never had any privilege. I really don't care what anyone says about that. Being white has not gotten me any bonuses in life. In fact, it's become a hindrance because i'm measured against other whites with good gpas/mcat. White privilege is a myth perpetuated by people who are becoming rich off the idea. I can name a few names...
Well, that's fine. Anecdotes and outliers exist. White privilege does exist, just like many other privilege's exist such as being born in the Western world as opposed to the 3rd world, being born heterosexual, etc. Point being is that in controlled studies an African American of equal qualification will be higher 2-3x less than his White competitor. Likewise your chances of reciving a loan from a bank as an African American are less likely than a White-American.
As for your last point, that's understandable. But what if I was at a hospital and said I felt more comfortable around a white doctor I could relate to? You know how many people would call me a racist? But, if a black person requests a black doctor then it's not racist. It makes no sense to me. I have no problem with a black person wanting a black doctor, it's called racial preference. But if a black person can have a black doctor without it becoming a issue of race, than a white patient should be able to ask for a white doctor without it becoming an issue of race.
A hospital setting is not something you have control over. Your private physician you do.
A few years ago there was an incident where a white male was reading a book in the school library called "The defeat of the KKK". A black individual filed a harassment claim and that student was dismissed from the school and had to fight his way back in after protesting the dismissal. See my point? Racism is often overblown. Not everything is racially motivated. If a white guy kills a black guy, maybe it's not about race. Maybe that guy is just seriously messed up in the head and wanted to kill someone. We can't label everything as racist which is what this country is turning into. Soon we're all going to be divided and it will turn into "whites vs blacks".
Well, somethings are stupid such as that. Others are simply statistical occurences, there is a lot of disharmony between the White-American and African-American communities, both perpetuate crimes against each other and most can be stated to be somewhat motivated by unconscious prejudices as studies show.
Btw, I hate how the term african american is used so loosely. I believe there's people that think they're african american and real african americans.
