We use particular terms to describe things with greater precision, to differentiate them from things which are similar, but not quite the same.
There certainly are cultural impositions which do alot of lifting. One of them is privilege, which is an advantage like wealth is an advantage..but you can be wealthy without being a member of whatever group your culture privileges and you can lack wealth even if you are. Privilege is often asserted along perceived racial lines, but is not a genetic assessment in any way.
As privilege is an imposition, it does not depend in any way on a persons invidual circumstances - what is and is not privileged varies. We are not privileged because we happen to have been born in the white™ group, for example, but because our culture actively privileges it. Privilege has nothing to do with anything innate to you, or to anyone else.
Privilege apologetics has everything to do with claims of innate this and thats. Innateness and innate things being more defensible and less objectionable than privilege.
