White privilege is VERY real, but it's not an added positive. It's simply the lack of an added negative. It's the privilege of not facing additional hardships in life that are caused by the color of your skin.

You have to realize that the privelege only exist to an extent, there are races of people who are worse off than us and that’s mainly focussing on the western world. Native americans were completly colonized and women as a whole always faceed more commodification/exploitation than men, even in all black nations the women get the short end of the stick, and if we take into account how many are due to the fact that those men treat women & animals the same with no regard for anyone but themselves.

It’s a narrative. Why aren’t other countries taking about Malaysian advantage, or Tunisian advantage. It was a narrative designed to prey on the general decency of most white (or other) people who acknowledge fairness as a virtue. Being white is great, but it is no more or less an advantage than anything else.

If white privilege is people not assuming you are going to steal from them or overreact if they honk at you on the road for doing smthn illegal because as a white person you are less likely to, then sure, there’s white privileged. But stereotypes are earned. Don’t chimp out so easily next time someone minorly inconveniences you.

Racial privilege is different depending on the culture/history/society/power dynamics/etc of the nation in question. Here, in the USA, it's white privilege.

ā€œPropagandaā€ and it’s genuinely just understanding that different people experience things that others don’t, therefore recognizing that it’s a privilege.
