Of course there's such thing as white privilege, as well as male privilege, straight privilege, cis privilege, Christian privilege, etc. Those who deny this obvious reality have their heads buried in the sand. Please note that the privileges I mentioned are all *unearned* --
that is, privileges one was born w or gained by association w a certain group rather than earned thru personal effort. To receive higher education is an earned privilege cuz you have to do well in high school, but there's no effort needed to enjoy privileges of the unearned sort.
I'm against unearned privileges simply becuz it is unfair. This has *nothing* to do with identity politics. If you find the above hard to swallow, that's probably becuz you enjoy some sort of unearned privilege w/o being aware of it, and you have some serious contemplation to do.
