<p>Just because there’s Black congressmen or a senator (note the “a”, because there’s only one Black senator) doesn’t mean that everything’s all hunky dory. Are you White? Because if you are, you really can’t comment on whether or not there’s White privilege or not. In fact, the ability to deny White privilege is the very essence of having White privilege. Peggy McIntosh wrote a good essay about this very issue: <a href=“http://seamonkey.ed.asu.edu/~mcisaac/emc598ge/Unpacking.html[/url]”>http://seamonkey.ed.asu.edu/~mcisaac/emc598ge/Unpacking.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I took a class last semester on oppression of Native Americans in Central America. Latinos shouldn’t be too proud of their actions against indigenous people, but that doesn’t mean I can’t stand people from Guatemala.

</p>

<p>You do realize that the Ladinos who oppressed the Mayans were mostly of Spanish descent (though some would not consider Spanish to be White). These Ladinos weren’t the taco-eating lawn-mowing Mexicans of the American stereotypes if that’s what you’re implying.</p>

<p>

Also, look at Asians, who generally have fared much better than latinos and black despite very difficult circumstances. Why should they be discriminated against in affirmative action simply because as a whole, they have done better than other minorities?

<p>Many of those Asians are already educated and well-to-do in their home countries, and they come over to America because of the ultra-stiff competition back home. Most Asian-Americans aren’t descendants of abused railroad workers.</p>
