They create phrases like White Privilege, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion. But the way the words are used is often the exact opposite of their meaning.
More and more I'm finding myself in an Orwellian reality. Double speak; four legs good, two legs better.
What do you folks think?

When we say "check your privilege" it literally means that you may not be able to understand the context of a struggle because you have never been victimized by this particular struggle.
Its also important to realize that race and religion are not the only pillars of identity before someone comes in here and says "just because I am a white male, doesn't mean I haven't lived through any struggle". Right, it just means you didn't struggle
because you are a white male. There are so many pillars to someones identity, any of which could come with struggle or privilege.

Thanks for explaining this. I admit I have truly struggled with understanding these concepts, because they are so stupid.
May I ask you next time I run into some totally stupid aspect of political correctness?
