[To be used with care, mind: I've seen it used in ways that looked very much like a fully general counterargument.]
Yes it does - I keep being tempted in this discussion to say something cuttingly ironic like 'But I suppose that's just your liberal privilege'. So far I have restrained (apart from there, but that was in quotation marks so doesn't count).
You can learn to recognise these systems and cease participation.
But can you? If the job market discriminates against minorities you can't really make a conscious decision not to have a job. If the tax system discriminates then you can't just give up on paying taxes.
I think this counts as a desire for spoon-feeding :-(
Pretty much - but I'm not actually asking for that... that is to say I will struggle on trying to understand it in my own terms. [And maybe express it in the way I want it expressed if I do feel it ultimately has merit].
