Hispanic people earn more and are imprisoned less than blacks so if we don't take the word privilege literally then that's odd I think but then in that case you're being racially discriminate in focusing just on white privilege if being privileged now means being more advantaged than black people in terms of earning money, education, prison rates and so on  there must be brown privilege, Asian privilege, white privilege, not to mention different types of brown and whites privilege like Jew privilege, Korean privilege.

You've latched on to one particular definition of a word (presumably the first one that comes up when you Google 'definition of privilege') that different dictionaries define in various ways, emphasizing the part of the definition that makes it different from other definitions, where the most common meaning of the word is likely found where different dictionaries agree.

I used the Oxford dictionary and Cambridge as they're the most commonly used and trusted dictionaries in England.

And I agree with everything you've said, my conclusion is that it's racially bias to attach the racial advective white before the word privilege if it just means advantages people have that others don't.

If you define privilege using the common definition than white privilege 100 percent exists, along with Asian privilege brown privilege Jew privilege Japanese privilege,
Black privilege possibly exists to an extent, world wide I'm sure there's a race somewhere with less educational, economical, crime rate advantages.


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.
