But for your first point above, the guy and I in the story weren't discussing white privilege. We were talking about the source of an unfair policy, one that I believed was very much based on classism. He wasn't saying that white privilege exists, to which I was responding that that's unfair to say. He was saying that white people were the source and sole contributor to a policy issue, to which I was saying that that was an unfair characterization of the actual root of that particular discriminatory policy.

Okay, I'm done and done and done. Maybe we'll talk more about this stuff over a beer sometime.

Cheers, Kipper
