> Not to mention the exercise of ethnocentric privilege implicit in demanding something of quality in exchange for nothing assured.

Whoa! Knowing nothing about the OP you assume that he is the member of the oppressing class clamoring for the output of his slaves? And, since you're writing this in English, I think it's safe to guess you're assuming the person you're attacking is a white, so you're basically accusing this guy of being an entitled white who can't give up his slave labor

I was with you on the rest of the post but charges of "ethnocentric privilege" are a weird, racist escalation hiding in academic terminology there bud

Occam's Razor applies here: everybody likes free shit. This isn't a property unique to the evil whites

Specifically:

>In common usage, it can also simply mean any culturally biased judgment.

Also relating to the "Global North" (who it's very likely that any given poster here belongs to) and "Global South", which don't have anything to do with skin color.

Given you've created a throw-away to comment this, I suspect you know you're actually the one making a "weird escalation" and are aware that you're race-baiting in a non-genuine manner.
