There is, unfortunately, a certain subset of white heterosexual men who believe they have the right to dictate who is and is not fit to serve.

I got stopped on the street in Koenji (Tokyo) and taken to the koban (police box) because there was an assault earlier in the day in Chiba (also Tokyo.)
This is the same thing ICE is doing now. They hear about a possible assault in San Bernardino and start jamming people up in Brentwood.

White privilege is just a fancy way of saying “you don’t have to deal with racism”, it doesn’t mean you have a Rolls Royce and a staff of servants.
It does mean you don’t have to worry about ICE tackling you in the hallway because a neighbor said you “look illegal.”

I will always be proud of Scouting. To be fair, they've grappled with some heinous shit of late.
That said, the core tenets of decency toward others, selfless community service, respect for diversity of thought, and doing the right thing even when it's hard? It's still there.
