White privilege refers to the concrete benefits of access to resources and social rewards and the power to shape the norms and values of society that whites receive, unconsciously or consciously, by virtue of their skin color in a racist society.
Examples of white privilege noted by Tim Wise:
Studies have found that...
-Job applicants with white sounding names are 50% more likely to receive a call-back for a job interview than applicants with black-sounding names, even when all job-related qualifications and credentials are the same.
-White men with a criminal record are more likely to get a call-back for an interview than black male job applicants who don't have one, even when all requisite qualifications, demeanor and communication styles are the same.
-White women are far more likely than black women to be hired for work through temporary agencies, even when the black women have more experience and are more qualified.
-There are about two million cases of race-based discrimination against people of color every year in the United States. That's not just bad for folks of color; the flipside is that there are, as a result, millions more places I can live as a white person.
-Although data...indicates that whites are equally or more likely than blacks or Latinos to use drugs, it is people of color (blacks and Latinos mostly) who comprise about 90 percent of the persons incarcerated for a drug possession offense.
-Despite the fact that white men are more likely to be caught with drugs in our car (on those occasions when we are searched), black men remain about four times more likely than white men to be searched in the first place.

Get the cunt privileges mug.Similar to 'White Privilege, the entitlement well-hung guys enjoy (either consciously or unconsciously) due to the fact that other people want to have sex with them because of their big dicks. All of their character flaws, inconsiderate behavior, physical shortcomings, boorish behavior: all these can be overlooked because of their huge genitalia and others' desire for it.
'I'd never put up with his BS otherwise. I mean, he's just average-looking, not very interesting, is always late if he shows up at all, but that's how these guys with big dick privilege are. And it's HUGE and I can't get enough of it.'
