2. Did you just assume the OP to be an expert on the matter and didn't pull it out of his hiney; because once again you requested no link? Perhaps just you being subjectively open-minded. I'm no expert in sociological theories; however, I'd be lying if I said I have not received extensive classes/training/schooling on suicide.
3. Of course many try to find scapegoats; I've never said otherwise. They do this to try to sooth the (wait for it) cognitive dissonance that is often times tormenting them.
1. I googled it and got the suicide rate among white males. Did not see any claims that the rate was due to "white privilege". But I did see one claim that it was because white people felt like they had more to lose because they used to control everything but now minorities are taking over.
2. I did not have to ask Bels for a link because I have seen with my own eyes hundreds of examples of minorities being turned into scapegoats. And I already know the facts. 90% of the new wealth created in this country since 1970 has gone to the wealthiest 5%. So I know immigrants are not the problem.
3. People who blame minorities as the scapegoats are not suffering from cognitive dissonance because they reject the concept of "white privilege". They do not hold any conflicting beliefs.
But if you are saying that deep in their hearts white males really do acknowledge the reality of "white privilege" and "male privilege" but just talk like it does not exist then you might have a point. Is that what you are claiming about all the guys here who deny the existence of "white privilege" or "male privilege"? Because "cognitive dissonance" is defined by a persons own beliefs, not what other people say.
