I understand why you think you're being stereotyped. Your discomfort with the reality of white privilege, and any discussion which you think revolves around it, is part of the core of your objection to what you think pc is or is all about.
You had a hard knock life. Where is your privilege, you find yourself wondering. Coincidentally, this is the alt right defense against white privilege. It doesn't matter that it's not even adjacent to the subject of white privilege, it rings true for some people because hey, they -did- have a hard knock life. There are entire swaths of very white demographics who've been fucked and left behind and, to them, the notion is downright odious. Rural whites, here, for example.
I have to wonder, though, how insisting that people not drop the n bomb on tv has something to do with white privilege, even as alt right koolaid drinkers define it? Or free speech, for that matter. A deeper dive...in what way is an acknowledgement of past and current inequality or discrimination suffered by some other person....a comment on you?

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!
