When i told my oldest daughter, who is very competitive about her grades and college prospects, that students from elite private high schools would have an advantage over her because they were offered a wider range of courses and could attend expensive summer education camps it motivated her to work harder.  So I don't see how talking about white privilege would hurt minorities.

You, on the other hand, view minorities as inferior people who will just give up because they are too lazy to work hard.

There is absolutely no proof that speaking the truth about white privilege will hurt minorities.  that theory is only popular among people who see minorities as inferior people.

It has nothing to do with how I view minorities. It's how I view people. Regardless of race, if you tell someone that a problem they encounter is somebody else's fault and that the solution to the problem is that the other person needs to change, then you're going to find people with no incentive to work hard. That's not to say that some won't, but by-and-large, human beings regardless of race, tend to take the easy way out. I see it with those that I work with everyday and I see it in blacks, whites, hispanics, etc.

But, hey, at least, you're trying to be more subtle in your attempt to call me a racist simply because I disagree with you.
