Is white privilege real? To what extent?

[Losty]

White privilege isn't a law, and isn't an all-or-nothing thing.  It's a bias, a statistical reality.

For example, given a particular guy that got pulled over for a broken taillight and just warned and released, and another that was pulled over for a broken taillight, searched, and arrested for possession of drugs, what will we think?

Either or both could be white, or black.  But the white privilege is this-- there's such a strong correlation in this case between race or outcome, that it represents an unwritten rule: white guys get a break, black guys get disciplined.

So if something isn't a set law, but can be clearly seen in correlations, is it real or not?  If not, then evolution isn't real either because its purely statistical model.

The police, laws, and attitudes to white people vary in this world.

My main annoyance with the term white privilege is that it's used by privileged white Americans to make them feel better about being privileged while there's none privileged white people who are still being told they're privileged and being told certain bad things don't happen to them when they blatantly do.

It's a statistical reality that in a white majority country where the police force is white you'll be treated better.

That's the privilege of being in a country with other people of your own race, the advective "white" isn't that constant condition of privilege, it's being in the majority that's the privilege.

Would you feel better if we called it "not a minority privilege" ?
