Check your privilege

A phrase used when someone is operating in a sheltered mindset of racial, sexual, national or other exceptionalism. This phrase is typically employed when someone is speaking in an arrogant or ignorant manner, or being smug or condescending as a result of privileged status that they were born into, or achieved by virtue of their race, class, or caste.
Things one would respond to with "Check your privilege":

1. If the ghetto is so bad, why don't they just move out?
2. Is racism really even an issue anymore?
3. If they're so poor, they should just get a better job.
4. Well of course they're losing their house, it was a poor investment. Serves them right.
5. My parents worked hard so I don't need a handout.

I am shocked that Jerome is pissed that he has to serve time for torching cars in the white neighborhood . Yet another example of Black Priviledge.

privelages

Privalages.
(1) The misspelling of privileges, as done by some dumbass Strong Bad fan.
(2) An increase in privalages is given to The Cheat by Strong Bad when he reaches a new level in the Strong Bad Super Gold Plus Club. One privelage is permission to sleep in the crisper drawer.
I think Strong Bad should increase The Cheat's privelages. This has not been done since he lost his bathroom privelages, which he had previously abused.

There is too much privilism online. Non racist white people are afraid to show support.
