<p>Sounds like justification for Social Darwinism. What’s next, letting the poor die in the winter?</p>

<p>I understand why you would get defensive when people bring up the reality of White privilege. You didn’t enslave anyone, You don’t hold any overtly racist attitudes, You don’t support colonialism. So why should all your accomplishments and hardships in life be trivialized by this PC concept that maybe White people have it easier in a White-dominated country? </p>
<p>It’s not an easy concept to accept unless you’ve been a minority yourself, and everywhere you go, there’s always this crippling doubt in the back of your mind that people are judging you by your race. It’s perhaps the most disenfranchising (I don’t know if this is the right term) thing a person can go through because there is absolutely nothing you can do about your race, and all the historical baggage that comes with it. The most you can hope for is that in your meager lifetime, you can maybe make a little change in whatever ugly stereotype is attached to your racial persuasion. White privilege absolves you of all that. It’s not so much having something as it is not having to deal with something.</p>
