Re: Does "white privilege" exist? If so, should it be corrected?
There are many more black CEOs in the US and the world.
I was just using these 2 as an example. McDonalds is one of the biggest companies in the world and so is Xerox. I don't intend to make a point just off of them.
I don't really know if I think there is "white privilege" or not. It's hard to quantify something like that. But I absolutely disagree with your conclusion here. Having successful people and unsuccessful people of each group does not prove there is no such thing as white privilege. Pointing to one example of a successful black person or an unsuccessful white person absolutely does not negate the idea that in general white people have an inherent advantage in society. Again, I don't know if I believe that's the case, but pointing out one or two CEO's of color and declaring that conclusively proves "white privilege" doesn't exist seems ridiculous to me.
