    Looks like young white men now have the lowest perceived positive qualities in the UK. An interesting stat is that UKIP voter hold them in lower esteem than voters of the other mainstream parties.

    you could add straight to that as well, and ''cisgender'' if you're really keen.

    young = free from ageism
    straight = free from homophobia/ discrimination based on sexuality
    white = free from racism
    men - free from sexism

    putting it like that, it does make it seem like young white men have all the privilege. but they are ironically now being demonised as well as oppressors.

    They aren't leveraging their white privilege correctly.

    This poll annoys me.

    Why is "has many sexual partners included" in here at all? Is it a positive or a negative?
    The poll seems to rate it as a positive thing. Why does people thinking I get alot or a little sex relevant?
    The double standard about sexual partners with men and women is going to throw this way off.
    "Yeah white men have no problem getting women". A positive perception in this society and a positive on this chart.

    "Black women have sex with lots of people": A negative perception in this society due to the double standard and yet a positive on this chart.

    Any sociologist worth their salt would have excluded this from the poll I think. Its also not clear how they reached their Overall score?
    Or am I just not understanding this.

    Privilege is not a finite resource.




    Is a straight white male that gets the sh*t kicked out of him every week growing up in some rough as hell council estate privileged?

    I've always thought that Albanian goat farmers weren't using their straight white male privilege well enough.

    Remind me to pop into the dole office and tell all the straight white men in trackies how privileged they are. That they should hang their heads in shame for their microaggressions, of which they don't even realize they are commiting with every privileged breath that labours over that silver spoon in their mouths.

    I will tell them that they are insensitive to the plight of the man who likes lace, the woman who likes muff and the Arab that likes beheading infidels.

    No. 'Cromulent' is a perfectly cromulent word. If you are under the impression that 'hated on' is a perfectly cromulent phrase, then perhaps 'cromulent' does not mean what you think it means.

    :D

    Didn't white Christians end slavery?
    Why is there no mention of the Arabs and Africans snd Native Americans and Chinese who practiced slavery for thousands of years?
    We are supposed to hate white Christian culture but forget that Muslim hordes were once at the gates of Vienna or that Spain and Portugal were once Muslim or that the coasts of Europe were depopulated because Arab slavers ravaged the coasts looking for victims?
    White Christian civilization produced arguably the most advanced progress in all of human history.
    Yet were are supposed to demonize whites demonize capitalism and uncritically embrace third world nations as victims.
    Rule of law private property industry and capitalism has made a world of 7 billion possible.

    With a name like that no wonder he's not getting all these privileges.

    Needs a good solid white name, like Bruce.

    The white guy at number 1 looks a bit funny. He's probably an Inuit. They're REALLY white.

    "Most hated on" made me think are you American? Also in an Irish context there is no black v white dynamic. It used to be prods v RC's. But now it is now multicultural and everyone loves everyone (practically). The main thing Irish people have to worry about is how much the Gingers should be tolerated! :) I just saw a programme about the KKK in the USA. Both the "black power" v "white power" people were equally uneducated. In Ireland we never had strong divisions of colour as most people wanted to leave this country and not travel here. There is even no divide on religion anymore. As the churches power has waned. The only divide in Ireland is education.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
