        All these people going 'YAS WOKE' or 'GRR GODDAMN LEFTIES" and not realizing this is satirizing the entire concept of racial privilege.

        That this fictional white man, working in Best Buy selling cables, would be able to seamlessly transpose himself into a lucrative corporate career on no other merit than being white? Is that the satire? I don't think you're giving the Onion much credit.

        The satire is that if racial privilege was a thing, this dude would be working some lucrative career instead of being stuck in retail with the rest of us.

        I misread your comment as being aimed solely at idiots on the right. I'm still not used to the word 'woke.'

        All good, bro. Never fear, I'm annoyed by idiocy no matter the source. Disregarding someone being right or wrong because of whether or not they agree with you on other things is a surefire way to circlejerking yourself into a bad position.

        In South Africa, male privilege is squandered in subterranean mining, ditch digging, refuse collection and agricultural labour

        Squandered? Some would consider that gainfully employed.

        What's even more remarkable, is that Audioquest is an actual brand of premium cable

        I'm so pissed about his blatant lies about HDMI I don't care what color he is. Digital signal is a Digital signal.
