I knew someone would bring up 'white privilege' eventually Seems to be a new buzz word. I cannot put my finger on why I find it so problematic. Perhaps because it makes it possible to attribute any personal success or failure solely to sociopolitical factors. It seems to encourage envy and downplay grit, as in "You didn't build that."
