Huge fuss about a contribution from public broadcasters on social media!
In an Instagram post on the “Funk” channel – an online project for young people from ARD and ZDF – viewers are asked to question themselves about their gender, skin color and sexual orientation. The post appeared on the “girls evenings” account.
Here the “Funk” channel published a table with which one should “check” one’s own “privileges”. The principle: The more supposed advantages one enjoys – for example being “white”, “heterosexual”, “Christian / atheist” or a “man” – the better one’s position in society and the more one should be about one’s supposed “privileges” ” ponder.
► Or to put it another way: One should be ashamed of one’s skin color and one’s gender.
The reason given in the article: Anyone who is “white” or “male”, for example, benefits from a “position of power” that is better “made aware” in order to stand up for “discriminated minorities”.
Migration expert Dr. Sandra Kostner warns of an ideology when asked by BILD: “Such checklists show how widespread the Critical Race Theory (CRT) is now in Germany. It just works: people are either privileged or not based on characteristics such as skin color, gender, sexual orientation or religion. ”
► But: It has nothing to do with reality.
Kostner explains: “If it were true that non-whites were fundamentally disadvantaged compared to whites solely because of their skin color, whites would have to be more successful everywhere, and in all areas of life.” But that is not the case.
Because: “Whites in the USA are more successful than Afro-Americans in the areas of education, jobs and income. But immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa are more successful than whites. Immigrants from India are even more successful than whites. “
► The main reasons for the poor professional situation of “non-white” immigrants are “language, education, training and the usability of professional experience from their country of origin in Germany,” says Kostner.
AND: “The situation cannot be improved by making people aware of their privileges, but only through better education and training as well as a skilled migration policy.”
