[@The Harbinger of Ferocity]I don't think you understand what they mean by 'privilege.' And granted, I don't blame you. I think 'white privilege' is a terribly inaccurate word for it. I think something like 'minority oppression' is a lot more accurate, but said minorities wanted to lash out at white people rather than the other, so that term was coined. 

Privilege, when used today in such contexts, simply means that there are those among the population that racism effects, and it hinders their abilities to get opportunities. Now, you could be right and say 'work harder at it, look at me!' But that extra hurdle that immigrants, minorities, and women need to go through shouldn't be there in the first place.
