I've been thinking about that very thing - the endless explanation of what privilege is, mainly because I'm a privileged white male, and I don't think it's fair that everyone else gets loaded down with having to do that. Is that arrogant? I guess, what I mean is, if I'm going to try to be an ally, I should at least put my white privilege to good use schooling people like me.
I took a shot at it over on Scalzi's whatever. It's pretty darn vanilla, and kinda inadequate, and tries too hard to be inoffensive but I'd love your thoughts. Linky: what I said at Scalzi's (http://piotono.livejournal.com/979.html)
