White privilege is only part of the problem. Today, we have black privilege and brown privilege causing problems too.

The only non-white privilege that I could imagine is "Asian-American" privilege in the sense that most white people see peoples, at the least of east-central Asian origin (Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese) as for all practical purposes "white". When I attended college in California in the 1970's, I could not distinguish such people from white people by skin color alone. Then comes antipathy related to garbage claiming that COVID-19 is biological warfare by China. 

OK. Let's look at someone who has much privilege who is black:

    

Yes, she is privileged because she has honed her musical talent so that she can lease it profitably. She was fortunate to belong to a part of the black bourgeoisie that puts a high value on talent and formal education. Someone white with similar talent and curriculum vitae (let us say Lady Gaga) would also be similarly privileged and would not attribute her success to being white. With her success comes access to five-star hotels and plush accommodations while traveling. I have no idea how she spends her huge earnings and really don't care -- but I can assure you that she lives far better than a welfare recipient, to put it mildly. She has fully earned her privilege, something that she uses to facilitate her achievements.

Privilege is more costly than outright pay. Big business and the government do not offer it unless it is likely to do them perceptible, marketable good.

Nobody gets any special breaks for being black, and not even from the black bourgeoisie. It's open to white spouses who have biracial children who have no cause to identify as white.  

Had she not been murdered, Selena Quintanilla (a Mexican-American) might have had us thinking much the same about her.  

Imagine??? You must not get around much these days. Oh, that's right, you're a rural blue hick living in Podunk. That explains your disconnect and reliance on imagination to see so to speak. Me, I'm smack dab in the middle of millions of people. I can tell you this, black and brown privilege exists today. You know what white privilege is right. Biden's kid is a prime example of white privilege. How much shit has Biden's kid been able to get away with because of his status? That's white privilege. The Clinton's are another prime example of white privilege too. Look at all the shit the two of them have been able to get away with over the years. I have had some run ins with black and brown privilege over the years. In case you are wondering, white privilege is a sense of entitlement associated with ones status that's prevalent among some white people. You're basically born with privilege, raised with privilege and go on to live the rest of their lives with privilege. Democrats are intellectually lazy and broad brush and associate it with the entire race which is wrong. The term itself only applies to Pelosi and the upper echelon (the white ruling class) that she now represents for the most part. BTW, the majority of them are Liberal these days. I predict the group is going to find itself being stuck with 30 trillion in debt which should wipe them out and render them useless. Like I said, it won't take the American states long to ratify the American Constitution that exists. So, do you think the American revolutionaries who participated in the Revolutionary War were fascists too?
