As re "privileges," two facts from TABOO: Black Americans make up 25% of police shooting victims, but get ~80% of national media coverage of this problem and 10-20% of all victims of Black/white inter-racial crime - but get ~80% of national media coverage of THIS problem.
(2) This isn't hypothetical trash talking. A roughly 25% estimate for ID'd Black victims of cop shootings appears here: washingtonpost.com/graphics/inves….
While serious inter-race crime is VERY rare, a breakdown that puts violent B/W crime at ~90% B-o-W is here bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pd

Horn-tooting aside, you can do a very basic test of this simply by running a Google/Lexis search for something like "police shooting" and seeing how many cases involving members of each group return.

(4) There's a very simple point here.
Some racism exists. But, it's meaningless to says that some simple test shows bias in favor of some group. Analyses like these^ often appear to show bias in favor of MINORITIES as re things the pop-science political left talks most about.
