Is white privilege real? To what extent?

[paulpablo]

The police, laws, and attitudes to white people vary in this world.

My main annoyance with the term white privilege is that it's used by privileged white Americans to make them feel better about being privileged while there's none privileged white people who are still being told they're privileged and being told certain bad things don't happen to them when they blatantly do.

It's a statistical reality that in a white majority country where the police force is white you'll be treated better.

That's the privilege of being in a country with other people of your own race, the advective "white" isn't that constant condition of privilege, it's being in the majority that's the privilege.

Would you feel better if we called it "not a minority privilege" ?

I'd feel better if people didn't add adjectives that describe specific features of people to the word "privilege" in order to portray everyone with that feature as having an advantage they might not necessarily have in all circumstances.
