Stereotypes and White Privilege

the one young White guy said there are some, but they wouldn't bother him if somebody tried to use them to diss him...he would probably laugh, which is what I have usually seen first hand. Cracker? draws laughs. the rich White person stereotype usually draws guffaws from broke White kids too. You own everything doesn't usually seem to limit them either. they acknowledged that stereotypes exist for everybody, but the filmmakers said the difference they think, is White stereotypes don't limit them.

I'm open to hear what you were talking about though, as far as some that could be drawbacks. I'm always looking to learn. I definitely see where the film is coming from though.

although i agree with some of the points, the alleged point that there are no white stereotypes is bullshit. i know a half dozen that are pretty big drawbacks. although i would rather not contribute more stereotypical reinforcement to the world, if anyone wants to know what they are, post here, and i will reelthem off one by one.

the whole basis of the film was condescending and not particularly representive of the population. next time, askme.

the bottom line here is like one of the women said who made the video..."White people's stereotypes dont limit them". for everybody to have equal freedom people need to stop supporting the stereotypes
