Oh got it.

I think he said something about that, but I don't recall in what interview.

He's pretty much saying he's where he is in life with every opportunity as an attractive while male in America and as far as the American Dream goes, it's pretty much him. He's not really wrong in saying it.

True. No other ethnicities live the American Dream.

"If I'm not the poster boy for what could be described as white privilege, then who is?
I'm an older, white, affluent celebrity, you know? I got it. So, I had to be very careful, and I ran it by friends and people I didn't know, who could opine... I wrote and rewrote and rewrote, and I wanted to make sure that I was adding something to the conversation, but made sure I did my homework.
Because I'm not taking sides. I don't care about your politics. I care about you just realizing that in a world in which we live, we're breathing the same air."

Can you sum up some of those other ethnicities who live the American Dream?

Salaam Aleikum,

How bout somebody first define The American Dream? That alone is up to one's own interpretation. I'm fine with what Jon stands for even though I strongly disagree with some of those views. Either way, it takes guts to speak up about important issues even if you may be wrong. I respect that. I also get RDkopper's perspective on certain issues. Too many seem to ignore the gigantic grey area in between many of these topics. Let's try to do our best to be open to all points of view. That's all I ask.

On a more uplifting topic... I give 2020 a 9/10.

Not surprisingly again, you're missing the point and putting words in my mouth. His point is how much easier it is for attractive white males to succeed, NOT that any other races can't be successful. Any ethnicity could do it but you'll have a hell of an easier time as a white guy.
