How can minorities talk about white privilege without alienating most white people? Introducing the "upper middle class" reassurance gag. Make most white people feel like your post isn't about them by specifying you're only talking about white upper middle class people. Since even the upper middle class thinks their not in the upper middle class, while the rich believe they are the upper middle class, you'll pretty much only offend a small percentage of the friends on your facebook. In the mean time you get to rip into all the aspects of white privilege you hate the most. I hate that words like dude and totes are considered eccentric, while the words homie and "mad" are considered unrefined and ghetto. Darn those whit... I mean upper middle class white people! If you want to take your race avoidance to a whole new level, omit any mention of race. Affirmative action is cool when it's only based on SES! Keep up with this practice and you too can be a trendy social justice writer who has bunch of reblogs on tumblr.
