A made up term used by SJW's to pretend that white people have some sort of unwritten advantage in the world, even though in America white men are the only group with no extra legal benefits. Every other minority group & women have laws on the books that give them advantages white men cannot attain.

Get the White Privilege mug.White Privilege isn't "your life is easy because you're white". White Privilege is "your life isn't made harder because of your white skin." No one is saying your life is easy and you don't have troubles, but unlike people of color, those troubles aren't BECAUSE of your whiteness.

K: Philando Castile (a dark black man) got shot while in his car with his hands up after getting pulled over for a busted tail light because he told a cop that he was licensed to carry a firearm.
Me: I (a light skinned black man) got pulled over once for a busted tail light, drove a half mile to my destination, got out of the car immediately, confronted the officer face to face, had a pleasant conversation, got off with a warning, and went about my business.
K: You didn't get shot?
Me: I'm not that black. Tan Privilege.
