In a short summary, the term "check your privilege" is nothing more than leftist racism. By saying this, all a person does is make a preconceived notion without knowing anything about the person. And how do you even know they're privileged in the first place? Because you look at their physical appearance? Isn't that what discrimination is? It's plain arrogance
All it is, is simply a cop out to tell a person "blah blah blab ur rong im rite blah blah blah". Would you tell a homeless white person to check his/her "privileges"?
Again, so many things make up a person besides skin color or body parts. All that does is make a person feel bad about something they can not control. And that is the issue why racism and discrimination still exists. Until we can stop using pathetic cop outs like "check your privileges" then it will continue

Although most of the name calling stems from emotional responses, so if they really wanted to convince people of social inequality they wouldn't be insulting the people they're trying to convince.
