It's a reductive way of viewing society.
It's real insofar as police forces use racial profiling. It's real when it's used to racially discriminate against certain people. It's real when it comes to job opportunities and it's still real when it comes to mixed couples.
For most people, I guess, it wouldn't even cross their minds to invoke white privilege. But as long as there's still a substantial minority discriminating against other races, white privilege is very real, stupid or not, since even the ones being above it, profit by proxy if they happen to be white.
