I explained how each of those statements (except one) are incorrect.
They aren't incorrect. They are all true. And in case it isn't obvious, I'm using "you' in the general term to represent white men
*you are assured that when you find a gaming group, there will be several people part of that group like you (same gender and ethnicity)
TRUE
* every time you turn on the TV, or open a newspaper, you are assured someone like you is on the front cover or plays the major role in the show
TRUE
* minorities convicted of the same offenses (from traffic tickets to murder) as a white person suffer much harsher penalties than white people do. This is a a fact.
TRUE (not only do we have actual numbers that support this, but we have people like John Ehrlichman (Nixon's top aide) who came right out and admitted to specifically targeting minority communities with harsher penalties.)
* you are assured that you can enter pretty much any town in America and find a church of your faith (for those who are religious)
TRUE
* You have never done something right and immediately had someone say you're a credit to your race/gender
TRUE
* no one questions a promotion you may have gotten
TRUE
* you've never had people stare at you or follow you around because they think you're gonna steal something
TRUE
* you've never had people cross the street just to avoid you on a daily basis
TRUE
* you're probably able to walk down a busy street without people harassing you on a daily basis
TRUE
So when I say you missed the point, it's because you said "well, one of those things did happen to me". Congratulations. But one exception doesn't make those statement untrue because those things happen to almost
every minority almost
every day. That's the point. And quite frankly, I'm getting really tired of white people saying "well, one time I experienced this, so we have it the same." No. No you don't. Not unless all of those things happen to you every freaking day, to every freaking white man.
Either you are now calling me a liar or are supposing that my identity as a white man supersedes my personal identity as a human being with a unique collection of experiences (just like everyone else).

No, what I'm saying is that you're either being deliberately obtuse because despite the evidence presented in front of you, you refuse to admit it and instead try to counter with some reasoning that has nothing to do with what I was saying, or you're being deliberately dishonest, or you just don't have the first understanding about how affirmative action and privilege work. Right now, I'm leaning on the latter.
