That's not what any reasonable person is saying, though. You've misunderstood the whole thing about privilege.

Privilege doesn't mean that any success you've achieved cannot partly be attributed to the fact that you've worked hard to get where you're at. It means that there are certain hurdles (like skin color or sex) that won't ever get in your way to success. If you're black, you have to deal with those hurdles and work harder to achieve success (statistically speaking). If you're white, lucky!

It also doesn't mean that if you lack some type of privilege, then if you haven't succeeded, it must only be because you lacked that privilege.
