>>85604202>Give the woman on the right more privelege?Essentially. The funny thing about privilege is that 90% of the time, it's good things being framed as bad. The solution is often to give everyone privilege, not take away the privileges of others.
>Should we come up with a dollar equivalent to "white privelege" and give those white kids the difference, give poor kids the full amount, and take away money from rich white kids? No, except for the latter part where one could argue taxing the rich more or increasing wages = taking money from rich kids.
>None of this shit it fair and would be a massive undertakingOnly if you take it to a ridiculous degree.
Slightly higher taxes on Richard's parents to increase funding in Paula's school and offer more help to her family, combined with Richard being aware of the fact that poor people are often poor as a quirk of circumstance as opposed to out of laziness are not particularly unfair.
I don't even particularly like the comic, it doesn't do a good job of making it's point convincingly even if it does provide a general illustration: Both tried equally hard and got completely different outcomes.
(Also, as far as I can tell both kids are white, so I don't see why you're noting white privilege, which is something they'd both have.)
t. someone hilariously glad to live in a 90+% white country, meaning nobody worries about nonwhites being lazy and not deserving state help. (Though it just means they worry about whites being lazy instead.)
