Seriously, though, USians, before you tell someone from the Middle East to “check your privilege”, why don’t you open up your US passport, have a good look at it, and then check your own goddamn privilege before putting your whole foot in your mouth publicly? Maybe also look up intersectionality while you’re at it and realise that it’s not a fucking pissing contest. I’ll take lessons in privilege from you when every last one of you conscientiously objects to bombing the shit out of our side of the world. (And I’m sorry if I happen to be too melanin deficient to be considered Middle Eastern for you. Clearly the folks who usher me into the Brown-person rooms at airports have better eyesight than you do.)🤬

@aral When you hear an American use the word 'privilege', you instantly know that they were expensively educated and probably had a pretty privileged upbringing.Incidentally the people who are telling you to check your privilege are doing it in the name of 'intersectionality'. Which if you've read the early intersectionality literature is really strange.

@aral This is "quantum white-passing" or "Schrödinger's white-passing", if you like.You are only white as long as your travel papers are not examined by a border control agent.
