Is white privilege real? To what extent?

[RobertE]

I don't think it's diabolical -or- dishonest.  I think it's silly.

Ok your opinion is that it's silly to think that white privilege involves privilege.

Does white privilege involve white people then?

Privilege exists in all walks of life and not just through colour of skin. It could be that being born and brought up as a male in any Islamic country that has Sharia law gives them the privilege of doing what the hell they like to a woman, when they know they will get away with it, that is privilege. Knowing that Asians i.e. Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamiens and Japanese are less likely to be shot by police is a Asian privilege because they seldom do anything wrong to warrant some sick pyscho copper putting a bullet through the brain. All races have privileges over the other, whether it is black, white, brown, yellow, pink or purple, it is just that "white privilege", is always used instead of clearly looking at the whole picture which is different.
