White definitely has privilege in chess.
White always get to move first. -

It’s time for cycling to think beyond white fragility, white privilege, implicit bias, and microaggressions, and begin to think about its root cause. Cycling must reject interventions that continue to individualize anti-Black racism, and work to break down the structures that allow whiteness to retain power in the sport.

That's actually a great resource. Any time I need to explain to someone why I stopped working there, instead of some long-ass story, I can just point to that article and say, "shit like that."

Anybody else feel like these CRT-inspired essays tend to read like they were written by a precocious 15 year old trying to sound like a grown up intellectual?
The writers are all across the board in terms of age. It's the junior editors who are very young, relatively speaking. The senior editors set the tone.
Please love yourself.

I was speaking of academic-sounding CRT inspired papers in general, at least to the extent they ever filter down to me through whatever I happen to read. There's a certain academification of the discussion about race that has a distinct flavor. Vacuous handwaving with lots of big words and cumbersome grammar. Sophistry in an effort to make a childish set of ideas sound well considered and super smart.

Well yeah they all sound like that. To me they all sound like Dennis from Holy Grail.

Apparently this is a racist tweet, “white privilege doesn’t exist”
And apparently the cycling community should’ve punished the cyclist who liked it.
My white privilege counter must have reached max and rolled over to zero. I've been so privileged over the past 10 years that I've been one of the few white people who lives in my neighborhood. Thank goodness I'm rich and good looking, or I might feel uncomfortable here.

Basically, that was the left wing of the British Labour Party in the 1970's. Race wasn't as much of an issue back then, but I remember running into all these gimboids at university with their little glasses and their goatee beards going on about the working class. Most of them had come from considerably wealthier backgrounds than I had. I once got lectured by some home-counties twat about the unfairness inherent in the system - I was from a freaking Lancashire mill town, whereas his daddy was something in the City.
And now America has caught up!
