CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

This is my experience of living in Australia.

I am white and have white privilege to minority groups, true dark skinned people, the LBGTQI community and females (i am male).

I am not truly one of the club like some of the others.

I get it Thry, but that's a personal perception is it not, rather than a mainstream view?

I suppose it is.

The big question is, is it correct?

Again, like all issues, its very difficult to paint one thing with the same brush.  In isolation, lots of the covid strategy makes no sense.  In combination with other factors, even the most ridiculous has a logical and lateral, risk aversion to it, even if the risk is quite small.

Its all very much to do with the experience not solely born of one persons life, but a systemic thing, and if ever you think to yourself, that he might be talking based on just an anecdotal view, have a think about how the white privilege gets bandied about by others.  Am I riding on coat tails?  Am I potentially correct?  Or, is it possible, that I have faced some descriminatory action that has led me to this particular junction?

The answer is a combination.  Not all people are racist.  Not all people are prejudiced.  Not all people face discrimination.  The ones that do, often stay quiet about it because unless you rise above it, you give it power over you and you give it the sort of power thats intended when people actually discriminate against you.
