thin privilege

The state of receiving unearned social status, notoriety, workplace and academic merit, attention from prospective dating partners, media attention, and other perks from being perceived as 'thin.' Can also encompass greater access to healthcare, likelihood of attaining gainful employ, association with positive traits like being a good parent, person, or lover, accommodation in public and private transportation, and the ability to immigrate to New Zealand (check: there's a BMI limit) -- by virtue of being 'thin.'

#1: Thin privilege is not spending your entire life having people take one look at the size of your body and telling you that you can’t.

#2: Thin privilege is seeing a new doctor for non-weight-related issues, and not having to prepare, in advance, a long list of arguments and facts to present if your weight turns out to be the only thing they are willing to discuss.

#3: Thin privilege is not having your body type publicly humiliated in television shows like The Biggest Loser.

Bitch Privilege

Feminists who will spend an entire evening telling you how evil men are and women deserve to be equal in every way, but get upset when you don't open every door or buy them an expensive enough meal.

I took Phoebe out for a nice night. But her bitch privilege really showed up when she told me "a real man could afford someplace better than Red Lobster."

Brown Boy Privilege

“Brown boy privilege is when brown boys (and men) are given the treatment, freedom and choices which are withheld from brown girls and women, and are able get away with everything. Under everything falls assault, abuse, premarital relationships and sex, drugs, drinking . . . the list can go on. Where brown girls are subjected to feeling guilty over the most miniscule things, or even prioritising their own happiness, brown boys are allowed the reins to choose and pave their own paths, their wrongdoings pardoned and gleaming with excuses, with the privilege to do whatever and be whoever they want. They’re excused and the weight of the family name does not rest on their shoulders. (...) brown boy privilege is having every advantage that brown girls don’t.” — by Sumaiya Ahmed in her article “Brown Boy Privilege” for Poised.

South Asian boys have brown boy privilege

Ugh, they’ve got such brown boy privilege, it’s not fair

Must be nice having brown boy privilege and being able to do what you want without being scared to shame your family

Double White Privilege

A white person who uses their white privilege to take a racial vacation to try to relate to or gain the benefits that can be gained from being part of an under privileged group while always having the option to be white again to benefit from the privileges of being white.

If you can't afford college use your double white privilege to make yourself look black and obtain diversity scholarships, then become white again to reap the benefits you gained as a black person.

Privilege

A word used to describe someone who is usually in a position of power and authority who either uses racism for their own benefit or is unaware of their own racist tendencies. Using racism for benefit employs inequality to justify inequality, and while the denial of such is also regarded as a privilege, it is not used pejorativly and so it is never used. One who is unaware usually needs to be educated on racism and cultural competency, compared to one who knows and does not employ such tactics.

Additionally, it is used in reference to systems of oppression with the exception of being addressed in a fair and equitable manner, because people want a share of the inequality pie. People who pejoratively address privilege often are a symptom of the bigger system of oppression that is racism in an increasingly intersectional society.

Thing 1: "hay did you see that meme with the tigers in the hot tub, talking about money being were blankets are at and not frosted flakes?"

Thing 2: "guess I need to go to Mexico to get it."

Thing 1: "check your privilege"
