For context, this is what Peterson argues:
He is saying that this thing we call white privilege isn't anything like that at all, but is really "majority privilege" because he can't fucking accept that race has something to do with it all (and because he's a fucking idiot). I don't know why you're making it out that he is only applying this "majority privilege" phrase to one or two examples of what some person listed.
What you're quoting him saying is his response to some examples someone listed, so that's why I'm making it out to be that.
Other than that I don't know about what he's said, I've seen the same thing you've quoted which is what I made it out to be.
Yeah, in response to a bunch of examples, not just one two. He doesn't acknowledge that being white is a factor that directly provides that privilege. He mistakenly thinks it's just a correlate.
