    Yassmin Abdel-Magied says she would have been treated differently by border security if she was a “straight white male” after she was denied entry to the US https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/yassmin-says-us-entry-denial-due-to-privilege/news-story/04a451d041848e325c6f7db76a88c530 … @yassmin_a

        Considering this shrews affiliation with known terrorist groups in Australia it would be right and proper to refuse her entry when she returns.https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/feminist-activist-yassmin-abdelmagied-sought-advice-from-hizb-uttahrir/news-story/8fb7d208cfac65646173cc3a4180c1a2 …

        Fair enough, she gets plenty of exposure from the lefty MSM without us encouraging her. As in some court cases we could possibly use a code name such as ‘K9’ which would be quite appropriate.

        Not sure if the straight matters because as a gay white male I never get hassled by border security anywhere around the world...

        Digging up junk from 2004 does not disprove the present day reality of white male privilege. But as you are amply demonstrating, white men will vigorously defend our privilege. Good on ya, mate!

        I don’t dispute white privilege. I just don’t think it applied in this case. They couldn’t have let her in with the wrong visa. You’re jumping to conclusions.

        I also find your wording overly charged with emotion. Checking if there are comparable examples doesn’t equate to ‘digging up junk’. It makes sense to check whether she was unfairly treated or not. 🤷🏽‍♀️
