“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.

Get the cis privilege mug.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.

Get the Privilege mug.White Male Privilege
A term that "certain" ignorant and thin-skinned white dudes get butthurt over because they don't have even the slightest understanding of the difficulties that racial minorities, women, and LGBT folks face on a regular basis in society. They also have no understanding of the inherent advantages that white heterosexual males have in western countries, so they whine about being "persecuted" when people use the term "white male privilege". In actuality, these particular folks have no comprehension of what real persecution is.
