A phenomenon in which parents allow their younger children to participate in certain activities that they did not allow their older children to participate in when they were that age.
This is an example of Younger Sibling Privilege: When Johnny turned 16, his parents told him he could not work toward earning a drivers license. When his younger brother, Timmy turned 16, his parents registered him for driving school.

Get the Younger Sibling Privilege mug.The fact that white people may be at an advantage simply due to their skin colour than a non-white person with the same intellect, qualifications etc. It is worth noting that this is not a justification for the racism against white people collectively, but rather highlights that existence of a systematic, institutionalised racial hierarchy that is able to deprive non-white people from seizing opportunities that they rightfully deserve simply because of their complexion. White privilege does not mean that it is acceptable to hate white people, nor that white people must apologise for any achievements of theirs, nor that all non-whites deserve opportunities primarily before white people (this would be an example of racial privilege against whites).
"Brock Turner, who was arrested for rape, was released from prison after six months because of his good behaviour and the negative implications that a lengthier prison sentence would have on him as a young student."
"Don't other rapists normally get a longer, fairer sentence for the same crime?"
"Well... yes."
"MATE.... That's white privilege!"
