I don't think politeness is really limited solely by your willingness to extend it to others. This is kinda a silly argument you're making here.

Nor do I- ideally- think that discussions on privilege need be guilt trips; recognition does not necessarily confer guilt or blame. You're right: if you can't control something you shouldn't be guilty over it. But the fact that you can't control it also doesn't mean it ceases to exist.
