White Privilege and Unions
Someone showed me this quote today, and I had a chuckle.
It is a little inappropriate, but can be extended to a variety of peoples not taking responsibility for themselves or for their children, and wanting others to pay for the omission..
"The notion that a group of persons are responsible for the actions of their forefathers by a group that doesn't take responsibility for their children."
BTW, we had a minor unionizing attempt as one of our factories. Interestingly support was polarized around ethnic groups. Black and Hispanic workers overwhelmingly wanted the union. Vietnamese and other Asian peoples (much more recent immigrants) were dead set against it. White peoples were split.
It is interesting how significant cultural inertia is.
