We can talk about any of those you want to. I think white privilege is the only one people are denying.

Either way, it's an example of white privilege.

I think the push back arises from the constant narrative that's never put into the proper proportion while completely ignoring the many other aspects of privilege.
Anytime this privilege narrative is cherrypicked for political purposes, it's inevitable that a push back is going to occur.

It's not my fault that you're completely oblivious to an agenda and then misinterpreted the results as pure coincidence.

White privilege is a concept concocted by wealthy white people as a means of shitting on poor white people. Pretending all white people started out with some family fortunate passed down from the days of slavery.
Of course the people pushing this idea when shown evidence that's not the case will claim what it really means is they somehow know the whole of your life experience based on your skin color because everyone everywhere is racist, and racist in exactly same way. A white guy living in a black neighbor is treated as royalty by all.

Completely misunderstanding the definition of white privilege while it has been pointed out several times in the thread is sloppy.
Its not about wealth, its about the racial appearance you make to someone and the benefit or detriment in how they judge or treat you based on that defines white privilege, not wealth.

Which is exactly what I said in the second part. It's about how some people assume white people are treated based on their race and it's no different than jewish privilege or asian privilege or any other kind harmful stereotyping. Don't pretend people don't see what it really is just because you choose not to. I could talk about black criminality and justify it with a bunch of statistics and fill the rest in with assumption and it'd be the same thing. Ask someone to admit their black criminality and pretend that's going to be a step towards solving inequality. It's BS to pretend you know how society has treated an individual.
I've certainly experienced assimilated privilege. I speak the same dialect as the people around me, like Barack Obama when he's talking to white people. The more easily you can understand someone the easier it is to empathize with them.

I think you're misunderstanding what white privilege is, Kizzle. It's not a "harmful stereotyping", nor is it based on wealth (that's a different kind of privilege). Privilege is the things that a person never has to think or worry about.
Some examples: Am I talking white enough to not be seen as "other"? Should I change my name to help me get jobs? Is this police officer going to hurt me?
On top of that we've passed laws in the US specifically to hold back certain racial groups. From the Anti-Chinese Act to Segragation and more subtle but very damaging things like redlining (not a law anymore but banks still do it), the 10 to 1 crack / cocaine sentencing, or even the prohibition of cannabis and it's rebranding to "marijuana" (to mess with Mexicans).
The privilege comes from not having your government and larger society actively work against you because of what color your skin is.
You being white does not make you one of the oppressors, merely a beneficiary of said privilege.
Hopefully this helps you understand the concept more clearly.

What is there to discuss, really?
I have privilege because I've earned it, privilege doesn't come without responsibility. End of discussion.

Dare I say, plight. That shit is hard AF.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Yes, having privilege can sometimes be a burden. It has nothing to do with skin color, don't be a biggot Enlil, it's not a good look for you
