I wish I had a joke about drinking problems...
On stupid_free, [info]gridlore posts link to an account of an occasion where he, quote, "met rudeness with snark". Specifically, some black girl didn't want to sit next to anyone, tried to make him give up his seat-with an empty one next to him-and he made fun of her in a very House-like way. Everyone hastens to call BS. Incidentally, all little old ladies speak English, and GridLore doesn't get to complain because [info]thexphial's Jewish ancestors were lynched.

Please, no Irishbashing.
EDIT: Personally, I would've just gone "Yes." and kept on eating my Vanilla Frosty. Now at Wendy's!

(btw, I'm approx. half Irish and half Scottish, but do not claim either as a reason to get more privilege for myself)


Gosh, how terribly noble of him.

With ancestry like that, it sounds more to me like the privilege is automatic. It's called "Being White".

The number of people who fail to get that is astounding. So is gridlore's claim that he's totally not a racist.
