As if every homeless person did nothing to get themselves there and people that pay mortgage/rent got that dwelling handed to them on a silver platter.
If being white does indeed present advantages over other races than white people then point out what can be done to change these advantages or even the odds for other races rather than just keep saying white people have magical powers.
Two problems with this. 1. You're severely misunderstanding what is meant by white privilege, and I think you're doing it on purpose. It has nothing to do with silver platters or magical powers. 2. Even if this was presented to me in the nicest way possible, I'm not giving up my privilege. I know I'm at an advantage to other people, but I also realize I have bills to pay and a future to start, and I'm not in a position where I have a ton of extra privilege to hand out. So I don't see a situation where *any* term that points out white people have advantages, or minorities have disadvantages, being taken well by a white majority. It doesn't bother me when I hear it because I know it's true, but I'm also not giving up my position.
The entire point is that being white offers no actual advantage. Being a minority in certain circumstances can be disadvantgeous, but being white will never prove to be an inherent advantage especially for the vast vast majority of people. ---
