CDZ Can someone please describe White Privilege in specific terms?

[Aries]

The system in which a white teacher is more likely to view a black student as a threat, while identifying with the white student, and result in harsher punishments for the same kinds of misbehavior.

That's one example. It is not a 100% occurrence. There are too many other factors at work that means that it's practically impossible to quantify. But it exists, like the other prejudices in our world.

check out my thread on NYCPD... 99% of kids handcuffed in 2016 were black/latino.
99%-Let that sink in.

 

[Aries]

It seems to me to be little more than having two parents in the home who place some value on education. Interestingly, this "privilege" is also enjoyed by most Asian-Americans...

there's endless examples everywhere you look. Starting in school, expanding to the workplace, the justice system, economic structure of our country, political sphere...
I'm not sure where white privilege doesn't exist in America..

Economic Data | Williamsburg[h]

This statistic is somewhat skewed by the fact that Black households are more likely to have only one parent in the home. On the other hand, welfare benefits are not counted as income.

Interesting opinion. Feel free to supply as many facts as you like to support that opinion.

Having only one parent in the home is often an indicator of a low income regardless of race. Both having only one parent and a low income are a big part of the problem.

Some stats on single parenthood in the US:

The Most Important Statistics About Single Parents
In 2009 14.3% of the total U.S. population lived in poverty
30.4% of custodial single mothers and their children lived in poverty
18.8% of custodial single fathers and their children lived in poverty

She Does Not Receive Public Assistance
Another assumption about single moms is that "most" receive government assistance. According to the actual data:

In 2009, 41.3% of custodial mothers received some form of government assistance

32.3% received SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits
6.8% of custodial single moms received TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)
20.9% of custodial fathers received some form of government assistance

She is 40 Years Old or Older
Another assumption about single moms is that "most" are young. According to the actual data:

37.2% of custodial single mothers are 40 years old or older
She is Raising One Child

Finally, another assumption about single moms is that "most" are raising multiple children. In reality:

57.2% of custodial mothers are raising one child from the absent parent
44.1% have two or more children living with them


Single Mother Statistics — Single Mother Guide
About two thirds are White, one third Black, one quarter Hispanic. One third have a college degree, while one sixth have not completed high school.

At any one time, about two thirds of single mothers are working outside the home, a slightly greater share than the share of married mothers who are also working outside the home.8

However, only half are employed full-time all year long, a quarter (23.2%) are jobless the entire year.9 Among those who were laid off or looking for work, less than a quarter (22.4%) received unemployment benefits.10

23.2% JOBLESS THE ENTIRE YEAR

22.4% RECEIVED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
If a single mother is able to work, her earning power still lags significantly compared with men’s, about 78¢to a $1 for the same job — leaving a wage gap of 23 cents on the dollar.11

The wage disparities are even greater for women of color — African-American women earn only 64¢, while Hispanic and Latinas fare worse, being paid just 56¢ on the dollar.

Single mothers earn income that place them well below married mothers in the income ladder. The gap between the two groups is significantly large.

The median income for families led by a single mother in 2013 was about $26,000, one third (⅓) the median for married couple families ($84,000).12 Nearly half with an annual income of less than $25,000.

Out of more than 10 million low-income working families with children, 39% were headed by single working mothers or about 4.1 million. The proportion is much higher among African Americans (65%), compared with whites (36%).13

Only one third of single mothers received any child support,14 and the average amount these mothers received was only about $430 a month.15


The Majority of Children Live With Two Parents, Census Bureau Reports
The majority of America’s 73.7 million children under age 18 live in families with two parents (69 percent), according to new statistics released today from the U.S. Census Bureau. This is compared to other types of living arrangements, such as living with grandparents or having a single parent.

The second most common family arrangement is children living with a single mother, at 23 percent. These statistics come from the Census Bureau’s annual America’s Families and Living Arrangements table package.

Between 1960 and 2016, the percentage of children living in families with two parents decreased from 88 to 69. Of those 50.7 million children living in families with two parents, 47.7 million live with two married parents and 3.0 million live with two unmarried parents.

During the 1960-2016 period, the percentage of children living with only their mother nearly tripled from 8 to 23 percent and the percentage of children living with only their father increased from 1 to 4 percent. The percentage of children not living with any parent increased slightly from 3 to 4 percent.

“Despite the rise of childbearing outside of marriage, the majority of children in the United States still live with two married parents,” Jonathan Vespa, demographer in the Fertility and Family Statistics Branch at the Census Bureau, said.

The data comes from the 2016 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement, which has collected statistics on families for more than 60 years. The data shows characteristics of households, living arrangements, married and unmarried couples, and children.

Is that because NY Liberals are racist assholes?

What, in your opinion, is the #1 and #2 reasons why there is such a disparity?

99% of students cuffed in NYC schools are black, Hispanic: report

.......I'm not sure where white privilege doesn't exist in America..

Correct. Just like Asian privilege doesn't exist in America. The differences are a combination of culture and democracy.

Interesting that with all those advanced degrees and high paying jobs, "Asian Privilege" has not gotten them more political power

 

[rightwinger]

While we are using "Asian Privilege" as a reason to justify why there is no such thing as White Privilege

Why, if there are 27.2% Asians in professional positions, why do only 13.9% make it to executive positions?

If we are going to celebrate Asians and their ability to get ahead through strong family values and a good work ethic.....why don't more Asians hold political positions or executive positions?

It is "White Privilege" that forms the good ole boy network that selects these positions

Again, more cultural and democracy than the tired liberal meme of "racist".

Obviously racism exists among all cultures but 1) it's easier to suppress than "cure" and 2) there are other factors such as culture and democratic demographics that play a bigger role in the results.


Asian Americans' numbers and political influence are growing
....Since most Asian Americans don't live in battleground states — California alone is home to one-third of all Asian Americans — it's state and local elections where they can make the biggest impact.

"What we found in the past is that one-third of Asian American voters are undecided about ballot propositions even a month before Election Day," Ramakrishnan said. "If you do the numbers, that's 12% of the electorate. If one-third of them are undecided, that's 4% on ballot propositions that could swing either way, but those campaigns are not engaging with them."

Karin Wang, vice president of programs and communications for Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Los Angeles, agreed.

"You don't have to be 40% of the population to hold the key to the election," she said. "Asian Americans make up the winning margin in a lot of state districts. We did an analysis that showed Asian American voters exceeded the margin of victory in a number of key state congressional races."...

Kind of a cop out

While Asians undoubtedly do better than other ethnic groups in terms of academic performance and advanced degrees, those numbers do not carry forward in terms of obtaining executive positions

They seem to face a "glass ceiling" where their skills are valued from a professional perspective but not for executive level positions

White Privilege still rules in terms of who gets the top jobs

Asians make it on their own without affirmative action programs. That alone makes them a distinguished minority.

I would take an East-Asian surgeon among any other without having access to their records.

 

[JoeMoma]

If the demographics of a specific profession do not match up with the demographics of the general population, it must because of racism.

White privilege is the white owner's of NBA teams making millions if not billions of dollars on the backs of the NBA players who are predominately black.

There is no such thing as "white privilege" just as there is no such thing as "Asian privilege".

Yes, in areas where they can succeed with hard work ....Asians do succeed without affirmative action
Yet, once it comes to filling executive positions, they are overlooked in favor of white employees

An example of "White Privilege.....Yes or No?

Then how do you explain the lack of Asians in executive positions?
