this reminds me of a classmate who defended his use of the word “retard” and disgusting bigoted jokes. oh, the things white males can say and get away with~

IKR and he also said transphobic comments. I hate how much a pedestal he has been put on even though he’s said very questionable things. His white male privilege is really showing.

Guys, he´s Jewish and gay.

I get what you mean but I still don’t see how that exempts him from telling people ‘to lighten up’. I think his transphobic comments say a lot about how he views people being offended and hurt by him being him being completely condescending to certain groups and their marginalization. While he may not like getting hurled at with offensive comments of being Jewish and gay and does not have Christian (in a western context) and hetero privilege, he is still privileged in many ways such as his cis privilege.

jewish and gay doesn’t counteract white and male privilege, or make him immune to bias.  also he’s wealthy and famous which counteracts most of what might otherwise be social disadvantages to him.

he is invariably eloquent but not always right.
