Is white privilege real? To what extent?

[Minimalist]

I feel like it's less about saying "this shit does not happen to white and/or wealthy people" and more "it's a hell of a lot less likely to happen to white and/or wealthy people"

In fairness, whites...unlike blacks... apparently are far more susceptible to getting "affluenza."  Oh, the horror.

During Couch's sentencing, a psychologist hired by the defense testified that the teen was a product of "affluenza" -- a term he used to describe Couch's irresponsible lifestyle associated with his affluent upbringing -- and that irresponsible parenting had "strongly enabled" the accident, despite the fact that Couch had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit on the night of the crash.

Blacks are so lucky not to suffer from this dreaded condition.
