Is white privilege real? To what extent?

IDK, you're the expert on words, obviously.  I'm starting to think that it involves asians.

I don't know. I just think that he is trying to expand on the idea that white privilege is not necessarily privileged to white people. That is to say that all groups are privileged over others in one country or another.

For example, South Africa was a great rugby and cricket nation in its day. However, over the last few years, the teams have got worse simply because of a racial quota i.e. black privilege over white people. The racial quota means that there could be hundreds of white players who are fantastic, but because of the quota imposed, these players are left to rot in the wilderness whilst their places are being taken by people who are deemed amateur at best. This is neither the fault of the blacks or the whites in South Africa but the government in South Africa.

I'm trying to expand on the idea that white privilege either involved privileged white people, using the definition of privilege and not something someone made up in order to fit a popular narrative.

And if privilege isn't used as defined in the dictionary lets not be racially bias about it and let's discuss Asian privilege, brown privilege, Jew privilege, Indian privilege, Japanese privilege.
