@Emmy_Golightly the difference is that all that insidious privilege won't get published. But Chinese "oppression" will. Weird huh?
When I need the benefits of white male privilege, I send work out with the nom de plume Michael Derrick Hudson. #writingtips #writingadvice

@robert_mariani@PoetryFound Hudson had published before, multiple times.http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/michael-hudson … -
@Emmy_Golightly@PoetryFound but this poem was rejected 40 times as a whitey name. Named one of the best in the country as a Chinese one. -
@robert_mariani@PoetryFound I'm familiar with the story, but thanks for summarizing it again. -
@Emmy_Golightly@PoetryFound You had me confused, because you inverted the obvious conclusion of the story. -
@Emmy_Golightly Man receives advantages when the editor believes that he is Chinese. You somehow took this as white = privilege ??? -
@robert_mariani A white man assumed and appropriated the identity of a minority. This is yellowface on the page.
