If they want to talk about it it'll come up on it's own, otherwise they're probably tired of those kinds of questions.

Why do you assume they're tired about those kinds of questions, but not other questions that don't come up?

I suppose I don't understand why anyone would discourage asking people "where are you from?" I get asked that a lot, and it gives me a chance to talk about my culture. What could be more fun?

I have to say, though, I can sense this huge discomfort from Americans whenever I talk about my culture, because they're so afraid they're going to offend me or something. It never happens around people from Europe, Asia, or Africa. It's like one of these weird American quirks (although people from the midwest, who seem more down-to-earth anyway imho, don't seem to give a shit).

What is so bad about recognizing that people have different cultural heritages? It feels like the society caters to a few hyper-sensitive individuals.

It seems perfectly natural that if you're in Japan, for example, that people don't assume you're Japanese. Would you take offense at that?

Imagine they were all "don't ask the white guy where they're from, it's microaggression, let's all be polite and tolerant." Then they just smiled at you and were, like, super uncomfortable if you mentioned stuff about your primitive Ohio culture, just nodded away. Then they go play with their Japanese friends the moment they realize they can't have any connection with you since they need to tiptoe around you so as not to be offensive.

 Yeah, it’s freaking weird man. All it does is cause more division and hate. No question should be off limits, at least in America. This is the land of the free! Free to ask any questions you want 😁

 Why are you a pedophile

 Ha ha ha, who said I was? 

 all that extra-chemical dyes? pffft........

So what they earned it? Are all white men violent imperialists?

White male privilege is a myth. Like a lot of the left wing concerns.

Yes it's more likely a white person will get hired in the US on a daily basis, but that's because there are more whites in the US than all the others combined.

There's nothing special about a million others competing for opportunities, but somehow there's a problem because racism, so blame white men.

It's just hatred for men in general. Right now the agenda is to dumb down people, and openly hating on coloured men won't work right now. It's part of the trigger mechanism.

Programs for the children to groom them into being queer like they want to depopulate, LGBTQ not fighting right now, and still nothing more changed but that's fine cause Biden, MeToo, BLM < mostly white ppl, like a rap concert, KKK ( Yes the KKK was created by Democrats, though this one is odd in this lot ) 

Nothing for straight men. Nothing for the wise.

Right, it seems like a myth to me.

I haven't seen any good evidence of privilege. I think some of it is definitely white male hatred, but I think some of it is confusion over historical racism. We know that, historically, racism has been kind of a thing. I even think it' plausible that there may be some systems in place that do favor white people and particularly white men. However, I think the left has a tendency to blow these sort of arguments out of proportion. Once you buy into those arguments, then it's suddenly all evidence of racism.

If there is systemic racism, I feel like calling white men privileged isn't going to bring everyone together. It seems to me like what will solve the problem is actually showing evidence of that systemic racism and then proposing rational solutions to those problems. However, I feel like instead people are jumping around screaming racism and blaming the angry racist white men for being privileged, as if that's not going to escalate the problem.

Same with microaggression. Fantastic idea. Awful implementation.

I'm all for recognizing that it's nice to try to be inclusive. If someone tells me that they feel a bit uncomfortable talking about where they're from, great, then I won't talk about that with them. Just like, if they tell me their grandma died in a horrible way 2 weeks ago, I probably won't constantly talk about how amazing it is to visit my grandma, how much I just love the fact that she's alive, and then bring them my grandma's home cooked meatballs to them every day and sing the "where's your grandma ha-ha-ha" song. However, I don't feel like I've done anything wrong if I ask them about their grandma, if I don't know their grandma died 2 weeks back.

The problem I see with "microaggression" is that it presumes that everyone is so offended by everything, when really they're not. IMHO, if something offends people, I feel like they should just say so. I mean, then you'd be kind of a dick if you continued.

How would you define privilege?
