White men being privileged, no, that would not qualify, as that is not stating anything that would harm them. Subconsciously oppressing people may be, there would need to be context, but I have yet to ever see anyone say they are subconsciously oppressing people... That is an accusation that would need some sort of evidence. Being privileged isn't something necessarily within someone's control,as that most often starts many generations prior to someone even being born and people really do not have a say in the matter as to whether or not they are privileged. Being privileged isn't an insult , it is a state of society, and may not be limited to one group. People are privileged in all sorts of ways, it isn't an insult. It is kind of like saying " Black men are sexy" .. it isn't insulting them.
Saying "Black men are sexy" would be racist though, wouldn't it? The same as saying "Asians are good at math" or indeed "White people are privileged".
If I take it for granted that you are privileged, I may be less inclined to offer you opportunities, as I believe you will forge your own way regardless, yes? What if I said "Black people are privileged", is that hatespeech?
I'm just curious because your definition seems to include "slogans" that would otherwise be quite benign and classifying them as "hatespeech". Nobody is saying "Kill all white people" or "Lynch all the blacksters", because that is obviously hatespeech - but what about "Asians are good at math"? It is racist, absolutely - is it hatespeech? It isn't hatespeech because it is something positive?
"Black people have good street smarts", is that hatespeech?
I'm sorry for bombarding you here, genuinely, I am just very curious and hope you don't mind!
EDIT: I should rephrase the opening sentence. "Black men are sexy" obviously isn't
actually racist, but merely an expression of preference. I feel as though I have been
touched by the nonsensical bullshit I've been reading from "fat shaming" to "colour shaming". God damn. The rest of the sentence still rings true though, but I digress.
