That is the definition of privilege, a specific group of people which have an advantage/immunity available to them.The subject and definition of privilege being used..is, again, not an issue of what happens at the local bakery. It doesn't matter whether or not muslims are somehow privileged at a muslim bakery.

I'd agree here..there really aren't many non situational advantages. The only ones that would fit the bill are those expressed widely across a cultures majority viewpoint and present in a wide range of situations..not just the local muslim bakery..and this is the range of things that privilege, as it's being used..refers to.
The concept of privilege is not a comment on whether or not someone has it better than someone else at a specific bakery. It's the fact that my expectations for a broad range of scenarios outside of some bakery where they like me can be derived from my possessing the privileged attribute....or being perceived as possessing it. I am perceived as a white christian male in a country with white privilege male privilege and christian privilege. I get the benefits of the parts that don't accurately describe me anyway.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
