Forums - General - Do caucasian American males feel they are entitled?

outlawauron on 30 May 2013

I don't think I am or should be entitled to anything that anyone else does not have.

The internet has told me I have some privilege though. Still waiting for that moment when I can cash-in on it.

I think its a general issue with Americans, not just whites.

You'll commonly see those of immigrant parents who are far more studious and focused than those who have at least a few generations of US born parents.

So its not "white males" who feel entitled, its Americans in general. Of course this likely affects men more than woman simply because women have to work harder to get the same evaluation as men. They have more to prove basically and less likely to be class idiots as they don't need to do that to impress the opposite sex.

This is why I'm moving my kids to a school that is always top of my state, always top 3 in nation, and always in top 10 of planet. It focuses on what non-US schools do well and pushes kids to be their best. Sure they'll have more work, but a little work never killed anyone and as I tell my kids all the time, "work hard now so you can play hard later".

Best quote from 30 Rock, becuase it is completly true: "Diversity is the engine that drives this country. We are an immigrant nation. The first generation works their fingers to the bone, making things. The next generation goes to college and innovates new ideas. The third generation... snowboards and takes improv classes. We always need people that are pulling themselves up by their bootstraps."
