I think this has been going on for a while.... 8A, get special preference in bidding for fed contracts. (about 1/5 down the page) click[^] Who are socially disadvantaged individuals? Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of their identity as members of a group. Social disadvantage must stem from circumstances beyond their control. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, individuals who are members of the following designated groups are presumed to be socially disadvantaged: * Black Americans * Hispanic Americans * Native Americans (American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, and Native Hawaiians) * Asian Pacific Americans (persons with origins from Japan, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Samoa, Guam, U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands [Republic of Palau], Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Laos, Cambodia [Kampuchea], Taiwan; Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Macao, Hong Kong, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, or Nauru; Subcontinent Asian Americans (persons with origins from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands or Nepal), and THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!! * Members of other groups designated by the SBA.

Many of the born again christian churches here distribute lists of business owned by "good christians" and encourage their congregation to spend their money there as it "comes back to god" via tithing

And you better believe that Catholics, Episcopalians, and Methodists are not included on that list. Pom Tidly Tum, Pom Tidley Tay. Let's see who we can exclude today. . .

I've never heard of that, but so what? Sounds perfectly ok. In fact, sounds like a good idea. I wish the united methodist had that kind of commitment.

I never said it was bad. The point is that spending your money at businesses owned by a subset of the population with which you identify is the same if that subset is based on race or common belief or toe nail length.

Hey, my only point is that making commercialism racial might not work out to the advantage of minorities. Still, I have always felt that most of this 'white privilege' mantra is really nothing more than the racism inherent to all ethnic groups trying to find a way to express itself against the ethnic group that was on top at the end of history, Phase I. The fact that we are tolerating this bullshit at all is proof that the right group won.

Why is this bullshit while the example I gave of a similar thing along religious lines is a good idea?

The buy black campaign is just stupid and ultimately counterproductive. The bullshit is the entire race industry mantra that we are all expected to kow tow to. Frankly, being white, I think white priviledge is an excellent idea. Hell, I wish someone would invent Scots-Irish priviledge. But than, I've never been very religious.

But by differentiating between racial bias and other forms such as religious bias you are reinforcing the view that a racial difference is not the same as a religious difference or any other difference.
