Why don't you go look up the word "inherent" and get back to me? Something that is inherent is an essential characteristic -- it inheres in a person or thing. No one said that white privilege is inherent. That was simply you practicing sloppy thinking ... as usual.
White privilege is a social phenomenon here in America. It is not inherent in whites. It is a result of whites being in power in this society for centuries.
I'm sure there would be lots of areas in life where whites would be more "privileged" than blacks and other areas where blacks would be more "privileged" than whites. It's just nature. We just have to deal with it.
"White privilege" is nonsensical, maybe you mean the "Halo effect" but that's a far cry from "White privilege". If you still insist on the notion I have but one question for you:
Does white privilege apply to blacks that perform plastic surgery to look white?
If you answer yes, you're probably just a racist because of your prejudice.
If you answer no, your premise crumbles down into cheetos.
