Britain Teaching "White Privilege" As Fact Illegal in UK

I would be concerned this is designed to prevent too much unrest or backlash, while the insidious people spreading this simply bide their time.

Probably both biding their time and also still more or less pushing it

Even if there’s a plan, remember these guys have a sort of poor impulse control
 
On the other hand, Scotland is moving into full dictatorship mode and since SNP is likely to become a kingmaker in the next British elections, it means it is fortast of things to come as UK in general is still marching into Orwellian nightmare future, with diversity enforcement being a mayor pillar of the new order.

Conversations over the dinner table that incite hatred must be prosecuted under Scotland’s hate crime law, the justice secretary has said.
Journalists and theatre directors should also face the courts if their work is deemed to deliberately stoke up prejudice, Humza Yousaf said.
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill has been condemned by critics including the Scottish Catholic Church, police representatives, academics and artists. It will introduce an offence of stirring-up of hatred against people with protected characteristics, including disability, sexual orientation and age.
Mr Yousaf said theatre directors and journalists should not be exempt from the bill, to prevent activists stoking tensions under the cloak of dramatic licence or freedom of expression. He said: “We wouldn’t want to give the likes of Tommy Robinson a defence by saying that he’s ‘a blogger who writes for The Patriot Times so my reasonable defence is that I am a journalist’.”

Hate crime bill: Hate talk in homes ‘must be prosecuted’
 
The UK is very quickly coming to a point where if the elected officials won't stop this nonsense, the people will need to revolt. If they don't... Well, they already live in a police state. It will just become increasingly oppressive.

Do you understand why we have a written constitution with a hard set bill of rights yet?

Its because we figured out that you cant trust elected officials to not be full of nonsense.
 
I mean to be fair Britain has been a police state for decades. More than the US.

The British people are obviously unwilling to fight for their freedoms.
 
TBF, Humza has managed to piss off tons of people with his bill, ranging from the police, lawyers, religious groups and even a chunk of SNP supporters. It's hard to tell at first glance because a) the media in Scotland are nearly all in thrall to the Scottish government while the rest of UK media barely acknowledge Scotland exists and b) Humza himself seems incapable of acknowledging that any criticism is possible.

As for the SNP being kingmakers, given that there looks like an imminent civil war brewing between Salmond and Sturgeon and their factions, plus their habit of blaming the UK government for all their problems, I think that is unlikely. The only reason that was mooted at the last election was due to Brexit and people realising that even if the Conservatives lost, there was no way Corbyn could form a majority.
 
God I wish the term "white privilege" had never escaped into the wild.

The original version was "consider your own position as a white person as abnormal, privileges granted to you, instead of thinking of racism as a particular offense that is out of the ordinary to experience." I think that is still an interesting and valid exercise. However, just about all uses of it seem to take the approach that whiteness is objectively a privilege, which rightfully angers just about everyone.

It’s also a way to pretty easily shut down arguments

I once tried arguing with a wannabe-ANTIFA classmate on stuff by showing him pictures of white hobos or white trash, dude said they still got privilage

“Privilage” of not being beaten to death by the supposed endemic of racist cops that just so happen to mostly stand by and kneel before the rioters and arrest those who resist the rioters and even escaped them from

I may not be white or American or European, but I’ve come to really hate that kind of stuff in college

Like seriously, we got SJWs or proto-SJWs in our colleges trying to even indoctrinate us, so not even the Third World is safe from the horrible alliance of globalism and centralised-socialist-variant governments

Yes. It really should be a beginning to a conversation, but it's used as an end to one.

For a personal example, I may have noticed a store employee watching me suspiciously once in college, when I entered quickly to go to the bathroom. To a ton of black people, being followed or watched by store employees is an every day lived experience. I think "consider being trusted because of how you look as a privilege" instead of "black people are distrusted because of racism" to be an interesting starting point to consider how I would feel being black.

Pretty obviously to me, the privilege of "people are less suspicious of me" is one that homeless people absolutely lack. I have no real idea how black homeless and white homeless lives compare, but it's a pretty bad framework for two people who are different from you, rather than "if I was suddenly a homeless person/black/transgender what would be different for me."
 
Suspicion is a natural mechanism though for survival? Its natural to be suspicious, because it saves lives.

Fact is, I don't want to be on the South Side of Chicago-a young white man at night.

To some, that's racism admitted. Sure, fine. I would rather be racist, than be dead.

And if you engage in a conversation, prepare for it to be a massive headache as the latter more-or-less dodges whatever you're actually saying, makes long paragraphs worth of talk and accusations and says you believe X and never acknowledge what you actually mean

Hell, it's not just on "white privilege" but many other stuff. Try arguing with them on #MeToo and BLM and Zoe Quinn and there will be shit coming your way
