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.
There's about 7 altogether that Jordan Peterson directly addresses, out of a list of about 50 things.
Even the writer of the list says the privileges aren't directly from skin color, that it's intertwined with other factors that support it. And she says at the start of the list that it's a personal to just her.
Which really makes it a list of her privileges. She can buy houses wherever she wants, I can't, a lot of black people I know can't, some black people I know live in a nicer place than me, some don't.
There was a list like this posted quite a long time ago that was just as ridiculous.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
