White Privilege

[franman]

I'm studying an English liberal studies course called Gaming and Gender: The Digital Divide.

I thought I may wanna share with you, two articles in regards to the topic thread at hand:

• Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is by John Scalzi
• Queer Female of Color: The Highest Difficulty Setting There Is? Gaming Rhetoric as Gender Capital by Lisa Nakamura

John's article expresses white male privilege metaphorically as a video game where being the white male is the easiest difficulty setting.

Lisa's article compliments on John's article and further elaborates how it comes to play in real life.
