It's basically just trying to steer the definition of white privileges to some privileges whites people have that other people also have not just globally but in America. Even using a lot of examples that white people are less privileged in than other races most of the time.
You can take the high ground and call my arguments obtuse, and do an Internet yawn and roll your eyes and make sarcastic comments but these things don't replace a good argument.
Examples of white privilege:
-Not getting shot in the head by cops.
There are several other racial groups shot less by police than white people
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Is this why no white person has been able to pinpoint any white privilege? We're all just too privileged to say what were privileged with?

There is overall less prejudice against whites, if only because overall white people tend to be in the majority... the same thing goes for other sexualities besides heterosexuality, for example. There is more prejudice against homosexuals than heterosexuals, for example; there is more prejudice against white people than other races. The privilege belongs to the groups where there is relatively less privilege against. Minorities don't get the privileges. White minorities are a lot rarer. You have to believe that in this world you're privileged to be born white. That's just a basic fact.
I'm guessing it's a typo where you said there is more prejudice against white people than other races?
There's so many blanket statements in your post here. What do you class as a minority? World wide white people aren't in the majority, in places like Europe, Canada, Australia and so on whites people are in the majority but there's populations within these places where whites people will be in the minority.
This isn't an advantage you're born with as a white person it's an advantage you get if you happen to be born around a population where you're in the majority.
Which also isn't necessarily true because sometimes a minority in a population might still have more privilage than the majority if you think about variables such as military power, political power and wealth.
Like a Chinese billionaire going to Africa to start a mining company or something might be one of the only Chinese people in the local population but will just hire lots of security and guards and they're unlikely to be racially abused.

Has anyone even gone so far as to mention that white people text speak? Seriously, it annoys the fuck out of me that white people cannot properly understand grammar or spelling in today's age.
