Who is privileged? From Culturcidal:
One thing you will notice with liberals is that they always define the people who don’t support them as the “privileged” ones and the groups they believe are “on their team” as the outgroups. In other words, the privileged ones are the non-liberal white people (particularly the men), Christians, and conservatives, and the “outgroups” are people who are trans, gay, women (when it’s convenient), and black Americans. Asians, Jews, Muslims, and Hispanic men are harder to categorize because liberals will sometimes claim they’re outgroups but will also attack members of those groups for not doing what the Left wants.
In Western culture, this is a way of thinking that comes right out of the Middle Ages, where kings and noblemen were privileged by virtue of their birth, and everyone did what they were told because they were paid to do so or out of fear. You could also make a case for it in a heavily class-based society, like India where they have a caste system. But in America, who is a member of the “privileged” or “outgroup” at any given time is almost entirely situational. Don’t believe me? (Read more.)
