Get the White Privilegemug. Asian privilege is being born Asian pretty much. You get a good family that teaches you to work hard, you become more educated than everyone else, you go to better schools than everyone else, and you get a better wife and a better career than everyone else, including white people. Basically, being born Asian is alone a privilege that everyone wishes they had.
Facebook decided to pick Josh Chung over white American Joe Smith, despite Joe having more experience outside of academics in the field of software, simply because Josh is Asian. Therefore, Josh has Asian privilege

Get the asian privilegemug. The innate, human...? right to shamelessly ogle, gawk, lech over or perv on the attractive stranger you are crossing paths with whilst out running.
The hot stranger you are 'giving the once over' (AKA 'eyeing up') must also be a runner. Note that runner's privilege is a great deal less sinister than any regular act of unwanted sexual glancing, given that (1) the 'ogle window' is greatly shortened compared to everyday life, since both parties are (ideally) moving quickly, and (2) the person you just gave the eye has the same right and is in fact *encouraged* to ogle, in turn, anyone *they* like the look of mid-run.
Put another way, runner's privilege is a temporary exemption from ordinary social etiquette, granted to outdoor runners as a built-in reward (and source of motivation) for being dedicated enough to leave their sofa and get moving.

Graham: "Every time I overtook a hot girl during the race, I imagined I was allowed to have sex with her."

Pete: Bernie wants to take away your healthcare
Bernie: “Unlike some of the campaigns up here, Pete, I don’t have 40 billionaires funding my campaign coming from the pharmaceutical industry and Wall Street"
Pete: "I will not pursue politics by telling people they can’t be by our side"
Friend: Wow Pete really flexing his elite privilege tonight

Get the elite privilegemug. Birth Privilege, or born person privilege, is the societal privilege that entitles born persons to advocate for non-born persons to be aborted by their mothers if and when the unborn person becomes a burden to their mother any time before they are born, regardless of whether or not the born person realizes they too were also supposed to be aborted by their mother.
Hey Karen, I’m glad your mom walked out of the abortion clinic before you were born, otherwise you couldn’t join me at the Women’s March this weekend where we’ll be executing our birth privilege to let women know they can only be equal to men if they’re free to abort their unborn offspring!
