Is there a website I can visit or a book I can get that will help me maximize my white privilege? I feel as though I'm missing out when I hear this term. I am Jewish, so not technically white (although an Oppressor nonetheless, because, like, Palestine!), but can often Pass for white.

You gotta move somewhere where they don't like non-white people at all but they got lots of them, like the south, or maybe one of those European countries that freak out about Muslims all the time.

Nah if you're Jewish then maximizing your white privilege is as easy as moving to Israel.

You have at various times claimed to be gay and black as well. I think the overarching theme here is that you're a lying troll.

2. the whole "privilege checking" thing is super hipstery so you're SOL there

i don't understand why the concept of white privilege has irritated you to the point of making this thread but nice meltdown i guess

Fastest way to max your white privilege card is to indiscriminately shoot black people, OP. You guys get only 1 or 2 of those tops unless you're a cop. Actually, any kind of mass shooting should do it!

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I can't wait for this forum to come full circle, soon there will be puppy avatars everywhere and unironic posts praising the Cato Institute.

S/SE Asia in general isn't a bad choice for maximizing your white American privilege for at least the latter two reasons.

That said, you'll do alright here just through such simple expedients as wanting to have a decent job and live in a well-off neighborhood.

I recommend jaywalking as often as possible and other minor scofflawing. Then politely refuse all searches and occaisionally yell "this is bullshit" in the cop's face in the unlikely event you are approached. Enjoy likely not being beaten or killed!

Excuse me but Finns, like Estonians, are indeed white, by virtue of being Scandinavian.

Ok first of all rolling Jewish is a noob trap. Those bonuses look fairly deck on the surface but if you compare them to the bonuses WASPs or Scots-Irish Southern Money get, you'll see that you're not getting optimal mileage out of your character points. If you're married to a Jewish start then you should start by skilling into a standard Detatched Coastal Elite build, but omit the three points in Ivy League Connections - your innate opinion malus with the Bonesmen faction means that you'll barely break even. Industry Insider is a no-brainer, Acceptably Ethnic is worth going in for a full five points, and Ivory Tower Egghead has situational uses so long as you don't mind taking a big hit to your Blue Collar Attunement.

Anyone remember the name of that book that was released last year where the author was talking about dumb life hacks like cutting in lines everywhere and haggling over prices everywhere that were pretty much only possible because the dude was white?

I feel like that book is the manual for maximizing white privilege.

Maxing white privilege is commonly thought, by scrubs, to involve just maxing one stat. But Privilege exists on multiple axes, so you got several options (an as multi classing). I've never mained full Jew tho, only matrilineal-descent kind, so idk what's good this season. Gl tho

e: heard Jew was OP at one point, got nerfed Hard, then totally re-worked. So Don't go with just any old builds you find lying around

You can still own slaves. It's still somewhat common in Africa, and in Asia, it's common for people to keep housekeepers and bangmaids in slave-like conditions and hold their passport so they can't leave.
