Access to schools with adequate funding.
You see, here in America schools are funded by property taxes which are based on the assessed value of the housing.
Obviously, in ghettos and run-down neighborhoods, that means that the school disctricts there have smaller budgets (due to lower property values), and usually (because they are largely apartments rather than single-dwelling homes) a higher population of students to serve.
More students/less dollars = lower educational opportunities.
And because minorities are more likely to be poor, they are more often found in ghettos.
It's really not that hard to understand.
some none white groups have a higher median household income than whites.

Indian Americans, Iranian Americans, Taiwanese Americans, Maltese Americans. Asians as a whole racial group have a higher income than whites.
So if a privilege is an advantage granted to a specific group then I don't know what group this would be classed as but I wouldn't class it as white. There seems to be quite a few groups who are doing pretty well in America other than whites who do have darker skin.
Asians also perform better academically than whites, again making it not a white privilege in income or in education.
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.
