My privilege as a straight, white, cisgender, middle class thin male

[paulpablo]

Correct, but excluding those segregated neighbourhoods in the rich part of my town white people are the norm and blacks wandering around are seen as potential criminals - This also means blacks are associated with poverty. I know that perspective shifts, but considering the average citizen white is seen as the average, and is represented as such even in the media. Even a black friend of mine, upon being asked to describe the standard person, thinks of a "middle aged, white, clean shaven man".

Instead of fighting over white privilege, check out this instead:

But this isn't how a conversation works, if you say bees can't fly and I say they can, you don't just say "Yeh well the bee is only flying to work hard, besides, let's talk about this other topic instead."

I could understand if you had originally said "I'm quite privilaged that most other people where I live are the same race as me, therefore I'm not identified by my race and more by my personality in most cases." But if you call something a privilage for white people, even if you say it's a privilege for white people in all of America, it still isn't. It's only a privilege if you're white, and you live in a mainly white neighborhood, you're lucky enough to have never met a racist person of another race, and you never visit places more diverse than your neighborhood ever. So you really don't specifically get this privilege for being white, you only get it if you're white and by the luck of the draw manage to avoid racial objectification all your life.
