And please don't respond with an "I'm white, where's my privilege?" It puts you in the same group with people who deny global warming because it snowed yesterday. Please just don't do that.
Maybe in your country. Not mine.
I don't have any privilege.
So yes, I will respond with that. Where's my privilege?
Are you sure that you wouldn't experience additional problems and barriers if you were otherwise the same, but a person of color?

Your personal privileges are irrelevant to white privilege
I'm sorry, personal privileges?
Thanks for the laugh.
I have absolutely no privilege when it comes to my skin colour either. So stop peddling this myth of white privilege and blaming it on whitey all the time.

Absolutely. "Minorities" are treated like kings here.

I'm sorry, let me rephrase o.O your personal privileges or lack thereof are irrelevant.
White privilege is not a myth and it has nothing to do with blaming anyone or even really racism for that matter.
White people as a whole have the privilege of being less poor and having more opportunities than minorities.
I don't know why you would think that makes me blaming "whitey". I didn't choose to be born white, I am not to blame for white privilege. Neither are other white people.
But just like it does snow sometimes and global warming is still real, there are white people who have shitty lives and white privilege is still real.

I think that Asian privilege and Jewish privilege is about those things too in America. Being born into poverty, bad neighborhoods, education and so on. Also I do think that being attractive is a privilege but that's not the point I was making anyway.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

My love....Asian people and Jewish people are white...
It's fine to think that being attractive is a privilege I was just saying it's not really to do with "white privilege"

UK.
Whites are less likely to achieve basic educational qualifications (GCSEs in England and Wales, also known as Nationals in Scotland) and minorities are more likely to attend universities than whites.
Majority of those living in impoverished areas are whites.
