IMO if you are okay with businesses only catering to a certain language demographic, then don't condemn wedding business owners not wanting to service homosexual customers. I know that I will see the same people who are supporting this segregation completely change their tune when it is a white / english business in question.

To me there is no real difference because they are both obvious exclusions of major sectors of the population. One is just more direct that the other.

And sorry, but you cant paint the entire world with the "American" model of race history and culture. I find that waaaaaay too much of modern human geography and PC politics is completely based on American culture. Believe it or not but there are other very privileged ethnicities / groups in the world outside of white males. I know, unbelievable as it is for first year undergrads / career students to comprehend.

You mention that people in other languages would be having very different conversations, and that is true, white privilege is something almost never discussed here in Asia (maybe only discussed within western circles / when mentioning American history). Here, the conversation is about Japanese privilege, the atrocities / privilege of the Han people, the atrocities of the Japanese, hating / loving Korean influences, etc...
