The thing is that because America has been ruled by whites for centuries, there's a distinct imbalance in both the breadth and depth of the privileging between the two races (and there are, of course, other races). That is the point of making white privilege an issue: to point out the inequity of privileges between the races with the goal of ameliorating if not eliminating them.

Does white privilege apply to blacks that perform plastic surgery to look white?
I've never heard of skin-replacement. Could you actually point to a real-world example?

If you answer no, your premise crumbles down into cheetos.
And what if my answer is, you're trying to deny a reality with a hypothetical? Because that's what you're doing. White privilege is a result of the interaction between race and the racial attitudes of society at large. I know that's a little more complex than you'd like to address, but them's the facts.
