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

[CapnAwesome]

OK I'm not being clear, sorry about that. It could be the wine.

I'm just trying to say that White Privilege is not at all about white suburbia. I'm living in the mountains in a place that I know damned good-and-well the bank would not have been so pleased to let me buy if I wasn't an educated white boy, capable of doing a decent impression of middle-class.

I agree that white bread and mayo with a picket fence and 2.3 kids is about as exciting as watching paint dry. But that's only a tiny slice of the picture.

I disagree that it's a tiny slice of the picture. It's a huge part of the cake. What you are referring to is the exception to the norm. That is in fact what people are talking about when they talk about privilege. Of course people can abandon their middle class privileged lifestyle to live in the mountains or be a hippy. That's a result of abandoning privilege, not a byproduct of it.
