You can pretend all you want that white people dont receive preferential treatment, but neither research nor the historical record show evidence for that belief.

Allow me to rephrase, because this whole thing is getting silly.

Everyone is different. Everyone is treated differently. It is only because we have society that we managed to have some level of enforced playing field going.

There is no need to pretend. You can succeed while having deck stacked against you. Naturally, you can also play the victim card.

I honestly do not care. I am done with this conversation. Cuz you know. White privilege and all.

There's no need to get defensive!

You can succeed while having deck stacked against you.

I agree! It's also less likely when the deck is stacked against you. If only there were a phrase that conveyed the idea that some people have a bunch of factors out of their control, i dunno say a deck of cards, were like shuffled or maybe stacked in a seemingly random way that broke against them. Of course, theres no cliche like rhat, because that kind of thing doesn't happen. Ever. Not once in science or history.
