What about a "privilege walk" for all White House staff?
Could be arriving soon.
Daily Telegraph editorial: Governor-General’s ‘privilege walk’ is woke madness
Woke madness has now reached one of the highest offices in Australia.
As The Daily Telegraph reports, the Governor-General’s staff will soon embark on what is known as a “privilege walk”.
If you have never heard of such a thing, consider yourself fortunate. During your average privilege walk, participants go through various exercises to identify their levels of privilege and entitlement.
For example, they may be asked to take a step forward if they are right-handed, if English is their first language or if they can easily buy bandages that match their skin tone.
But they must take a step back if they have ever had to primarily rely on public transport.
In the case of staff working for the Governor-General, they should be able to complete the privilege walk in record time.
That is because they very much are privileged, straight off the bat. They are privileged to work in that office. They are profoundly privileged to represent the Australian people.
And they should be extremely proud of doing so.
Instead, however, they will endure a form of ritual shaming.
You should do the exercise. I have. It is a great way of helping you recognize how advantages in life put you ahead of the race from the outset. There is no shame or shaming involved, but recognition. It helps to understand the equity needs of marginalized communities. A worthy exercise for your public servants.
Of course, in your case, it would involve you looking backwards and.asking yourself, "If I started so far ahead why am I so far behind?" And then you would crawl back into your mother's basement, turn on your number 2 of a No. 1 radio host and console yourself with the thought that it is someone else's fault.

When I left high school...'everyone' in the country was white. ("The White Australia policy"). Aboriginal people mostly lived outside of cities and towns (the law).
No African gangs.
No Middle Eastern organised crime gangs.
No Asian triad organised crime gangs.
Plenty of White bullies and harassers in workplaces though.
Being a nice, polite, well-mannered, skinny, naive, White, not martial arts trained Christian boy...I started well behind, a sitting duck.
Used, abused, bullied, harassed, mocked by White males and later White women in the workplace, I feel I well and truly earned whatever I have today.
No "privilege walk" for me.
You still had a seat at the best table. How much food you grabbed - that's all up to you. But you were seated at the table. Doesn't have to be the best seat. You had every opportunity to improve your seating, because you had a seat to begin with.
Speaking of seats at tables:
Team bambu was seated at the "others" table at one all White folks office Christmas party.
The seating arrangements discovered by accident in a file on the desk of the Manager's secretary.
3 tables:
"First class citizens".
"Second class citizens"
"Others".
We "rejects" had a great night, lol

(Deceased) Elba forum member Weezo once told me that I could no longer sit at the table but could only sit under the table (and have the 'crumbs'.) lol

So, because I wasn't born on a garbage dump in The Philippines, destined to live my entire life there...or wasn't born into grinding poverty in India etc...I must now do a walk of shame to find enlightenment.
Not in this lifetime.
Again, I have done the exercise. There is no shame in it - if you feel shamed it is on you. I was the third furthest ahead in my group of about 30 at the end. It was enlightening, not shameful. No shame at all - unless you want to feel shamed, and that because you want to be shamed by it so you can feign outrage. What your number two #1 radio host is likely not telling you is that the walk has a context. It is done as part of training in diversity and inclusion.
They say that's what the reason is.
Ah yes, diversity and inclusion.
What, like immigrants in my world waving the flags of their homelands and cheering for them against the Australian flag and Australian teams?
Immigrant ethnic enclaves everywhere.
Yes, diversity to the max.
Inclusion, not so much, seemingly voluntarily and on purpose.
