This is happening in the UK too, especially in education, health, the civil service, and other areas of public sector work.This is ridiculous. She's 40 and she's not a spectacular looking 40 year old either. The face is mediocre at best. She doesn't look overweight, which is good. On looks, she's a swipe left.
Her personality is complete dog shiit though.
I'll answer her questions on my White privilege as a heterosexual White male.
I have never experienced White privilege as a 40 year old, early Millennial White male.
I have experienced getting rejected by colleges for admission while minorities with lower GPAs got accepted to the programs where I wanted to get accepted. That's discrimination against a White person, not privilege.
I have experienced situations where I've interviewed for jobs and didn't get the jobs. I checked who got the job I interviewed for while using LinkedIn after the fact. Most often, it was a lesser qualified minority and/or female candidate. That's discrimination against a White person, not privilege.
If I were a minority and female today, I would be higher paid and have a more impressive title in my white collar line of work. Once again, that's discrimination against a White person, not privilege.
I think I have a very good understanding of my White privilege based upon those examples above.
Why doesn't she tell me about how she's experienced privilege as an LBGTQ White woman who identifies as a woman? She has more privilege than I have.
It's amazing that she's a psychologist because she doesn't seem like she's in a good place to help people.
The SF Bay Area, Portland, and Seattle are magnets for this stuff.
Women and ethnic minorities are more likely to be recruited, promoted and retained than other workers. They also often get a free pass on under-performance and disciplinary matters. I also believe I have been discriminated against a number of times throughout my career.
Nobody wants to know about all this though, or so it seems.
