"race" as a biological concept is indeed not "real", and has long been dropped from the professional conversation. it simply is too arbitrary. there are no hard and fast biological markers that makes up what humans consider a "race" - they're just clusterings of geno/phenotypes.
any human who believes in "race" should go visit Brazil, and observe a 6ft girl with black skin, and bright blue almond eyes. unlike the US, Brazil never forbade marriage and sex between different "races" (=skin colors), so they're mixed through thoroughly. and what a sight it is to behold
brute whole-heartedly approves of genetic mixing.
brute also agrees that there are terrible systemic disadvantages that affect black (and some latino) humans, especially in the "justice" system.
the whole idea of privilege seems to be that anyone not affected or less affected by systemic prejudice is at fault for it. with this, brute disagrees. one, it's not true. two, it's counter productive.
in order to get rid of systemic prejudice, showing that it exists is necessary. but how is blaming it on an entire population of humans, who happen to not suffer from it, going to solve the problem? all that happens is that these humans now feel alienated and sometimes threatened by the privilege-accuser. instead of joining the cause or having an open mind, they will now shut down and either do their best to ignore the cause, or even become hostile to it ("reverse racism").
having a "latino lounge" or "black club" on campus is fine. but increasingly, students protest to have comedians or other speakers banned from the entire campus, making it impossible for the 90% of students who are NOT "threatened" or "triggered" by edgy jokes to listen to the speaker. this is also happening to curriculums. it's one thing to be safe, it's another to threaten others with "feeling unsafe". it's the difference between disallowing yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, and policing everyone's political opinion on grounds that many remember a fire when they hear "Trump".
as for Olaz' last question, it's not a coincidence. Olaz will observe a huge part of the FI crowd are white male computer programmers. are programmers privileged? brute thinks it's more an overlap of habits, interests, and skills.
to program computers for a living, humans have to be slightly autistic. sitting in front of a box for 40 hours a week and think about logical structures and program flow isn't something most humans would enjoy or want to sustain. computer programmers are typically socially awkward, somewhat loners, like to stay indoors, and spend time with their hobbies. they're not very integrated into society, and therefore don't necessarily suffer all the societal pressures to buy a McMansion, drive a new BMW, and so on. they have grown up doing their own thing, often alone or in small groups of similar minded humans.
in addition, computer programmers right now have a somewhat unique position in that it's a well-paying job that comes without any of the typical societal "obligations" that lawyers, doctors, and so on have. no wearing suits, no going to dinner parties, shaving not necessary, status is dished out by nerdy standards, not by who has the biggest car or the fanciest dinners.
but is this privilege?
to brute, it feels more like a curse that happens to be of great value in a niche market, in this very specific time period. anywhere from 2000 BC to 1980 AD, these humans would've been considered losers. somehow, since then, this autistic ability to focus on very abstract things for long periods of time, has become valuable.
brute would say this is definitely a thing that male humans have more. male humans decide that they'll spend their lives doing silly shit like becoming professional players of ball games, climb high mountains, or ride their bicycles very fast. it seems males are more often able to "cut lose" from society and its pressures.
and sure, white people in the US do not suffer from much systematic prejudice like blacks and latinos do. then again, neither do most asians. so is the best use of time really to yell at the white/asian people, or should it be spent on removing the systemic prejudice against blacks and latinos?
