basically the idea of White Privilege is how people are treated based on race.

If if you are white youll always be assumed to be legal, even if you are speaking Spanish.

If you are Puerto Rican and speaking Spanish there is a good chance you will not be assumed legal.

The literal difference is one is a literal citizen and one is some bloke from Ireland. Oh and one is white and the other isnt.

Who is more likely to be harassed for speaking Spanish? Is it the White Dude from Ireland or is it the Puerto Rican?

Who is is more likely to have ICE called on them? Probably not the Irish Lad.

Both of them are walking down the street carrying a computer monitor they own.

Which one do you think will most likely be accused of stealing if the cop pass
by?

One looks more likely to be native than the other.

If you go to the border, do you think people are anywhere near as suspicious if they see a hispanic man there? No, because they blend in more with the local population.

If you go to Japan, who's going to look more like a tourist, an American ex-pat who's been living there for 20 years or a Korean man?

It's not white privilege, it's convenience of blending in. This also applies to cultural practices and matters a hell of a lot more. If you act differently to the local population, you will have less opportunities as you will be seen as an outsider. You could claim "but that's my Puerto Rican/Jamaican/Estonian culture!" but this is a matter of assimilation. When in the local population, you adapt to it and the people who refuse are the ones suffering from a lack of "white privilege".
