Not at all. And I will add that the discussion is going great. There is no fighting. Just talk. This is what I was hoping for and it is going wonderfully.
Do you believe in privilege? White privilege, etc?

Imho I think, and I believe many studies have shown (Google is your friend), that being a taller male has a primal effect on how others, both male and female, view those men. And it's not just sexual attractiveness.
Taller men are often perceived by others to have many other positive attributes, that at first glance might not be attributed to men of average or lesser height.
While it may not help if the guy is in a jam with the police, it just might help with getting a job, renting an apartment, or other things where first impressions count a lot. That is assuming that the guy doesn't blow it by saying something stupid, or some other factor that overrides his height advantage.
Heck, it even might help a guy get elected to the Presidency of the United States...
I argue it is more a class privilege than an actual racial / religious / identity etc one
Those born into upper class have money, connections, school, and job all lined up at birth
Those in lower class regardless of race do not, and no matter how hard they work or how rich they get are always the black sheep at the country club
We as a society look down on those we consider beneath us
I wouldn't mind you holding my hand if you were going somewhere. Maybe you should find that old magazine article and dust it off and re read it. I don't automatically assume East Indians are muslims. I suppose I am not all that interested because stating the obvious or making blanket statements without any back up about something that doesn't really matter doesn't make for a meaningful debate.
India is more of a Seik country actually... so good assumption.
Women can sell their pussy at far higher rates with much more demand than men.
I demand equality!
I demand equality!
I wish you can find that article.
Please explain # 7 "IE"
I agree # 8 it should be part of the list and add... LAST NAME. Yes there are societies / countries that discriminate against peoples' last name.
And also Religion or Any apparel that represent Religion or culture background will be judge against a person unless they are smart enough to leave it behind at home.
Height matters as other have mentioned.
Looks, how you dress and your face for sure matter.
And also accent/ voice. Man I work with some Asians that sometimes I have to ask for a repetition/ clarification, mind you these people are on the floor job position not office. Sometimes is not that they didn't learn the English language properly its just their origin language gives them difficulty, it gets in their way, or tongue twister and if they have a physical ailment and it can become harder. But they do their work properly and sometime above the line.
In the end society will always judge, it's part of the DNA. WE can only learn to managed it by will power. Some Stripper told about book written in 1912 stating that humans have not changed mentally.
Number 7 is those who are able bodied vrs the disabled. Meaning physically able or mentally able vrs those with physical or mental impairments
I can’t find the exact article. I have looked by there are plenty of articles now. If you search privilege and intersectionality you will find these lists.
I am privileged to be an old man living in Canada, it means I can write my name in the snow using cursive letters.
Religions won't exist in probably 25-50 more years. More and more people are realizing that they are man made. I had one growing up but I'm agnostic now. The younger generations are leaving them behind even faster.
