IHE: Minority White Students

[mahagonny]

mahaggony, those numbers might be true but there is ONE group that has a very vocal and intense public opinion about those that marry or date another group, if that group is white. Look at private equity CEO Robert Smith, VP Kamala Harris, SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and film actor Michael B. Jordan. All have been hammered in the press and social media not by whites but by members of their own group for dating or marrying whites. These comments are not made in back rooms or hushed voices either but openly on social media and in otherwise respectable venues. (The View, for example, which I believe has several journalism Pulitzers in addition to its wide ranging appeal to soccer moms nationwide.)

In a social media world where the hair trigger backlash is immediate for even the most unintended fictional perceived slight related to any identity group, this one is never shouted down. It's getting old.

Black privilege: absence of the fear of being called racist.
