White privilege differs depending on where you're from, who you know, and how you look physically. I think because of that, not everyone is going to perceive "White privilege" in the same way. Why's it harder for me to obtain a job because of my very ethnic name? Why do I feel over-sexualized as a woman of color? Why do people constantly disrespect my heritage and how I do things culturally? Those are the questions you need to be asking.

Whites have zero privilege that minorities don't in today's society. It's absurd and laughable to claim otherwise – whites are literally overlooked for admittance into universities and being hired for jobs because of their skin colour while minorities, particularly blacks, are hired in their place despite often being far less qualified. The best way to stop discrimination based on race is to stop discriminating based on race, period, no exceptions, and to treat everyone, including whites, with equal dignity and respect, always choosing the most qualified person for the job without any regard to race. Affirmative action and DEI are fundamentally racist ideologies.

Im white and everyday i see people use the excuse of being white to justify being a terrible person and act however they want to. Yes other races can have privilege but depending on what area you live in effects if it does anything. People struggle to understand "white privilege" because as a whole our society is blind towards practically everything unless it benefits them or allows them to be hateful.

White Privilege extends to so many areas of life, including that of personal safety. I am more likely to be targeted for the color of my skin than a white person.

An individuals experience is not the universal experience. The fact that we can through data see that black people are overall poorer than white people, and that much of that comes from the history of slavery in this country is just one argument as to why white privilege exists.

 @9K98P3N from Wisconsin disagreed…3mos3MO

Black privilege does not exist and will never exist because of the oppression of black people. They face fewer opportunities and less equality than white people.
