I'm making the point that a counter-example doesn't negate a reality on the ground. Simply because there are poor white folk doesn't mean that there is no such thing as white privilege.

I don't pretend to speak or know of global circumstances. Here in America I've benefited from access to a better education, which led to better employment, which allows me to avoid the pitfalls of life that other, non-whites have a much harder time avoiding. I get better treatment from the police when I get stopped.
You're acting as if white privilege is a legal construct. It isn't, here in America, any more.
But it does exist as a social construct.
