They are the "subject-matter experts" which other white people depend upon. They are so full of themselves they think they know the issue about a non-white nation or culture better than the natives themselves. Plus they also suffer the trappings of white male privileged like all others, but the title of a PhD from a Western university and the being the "white expert" made them especially myopic about the very people they are supposed to understand and their own latent racist views. <br /><br />They are usually the talking heads you see on TV, blabbering about things they actually know very little about. But they make good money and other white people respect them, so who cares about what these brown people actually think anyway? They can't possibly comprehend what they're doing to themselves better than the white expert, right?<br /><br />These guys are a dime a dozen. I put very little weight in their opinions.Tivomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652513965736069435noreply@blogger.com
