The belief that white individual have a social or economic advantage as a consequence of their skin colour. Typically used when an individual who is not white, asserts that a white individual's success is not down to good choice but because of their race. People who are against this come in two forms, some individuals believe that white privilege does not exist and that it is racist to use this term. While others believe that while this term is not racist, it is used in the wrong context, as most of the time this term is used in the concreate instead of the abstract.
Non white individual : Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are only successful because they are white.
White individual: That's racist, and used in the incorrect context
Non white individual : Its not racist to point out a person's white privilege. You saying that is showing your white privilege

Get the White privilege mug.A made up term by an old femcel named Peggy McIntosh. The term has arbitray criteria for which white people have unforeseen advantages as evidenced by nothing but cherry picked circumstances. It is essentially a new wave of bigotry disguised as anti-bigotry.
"See this Huffpost article? We have two different court cases from different states, involving different people, different laws, with different outcomes. The white criminal got less time than the black criminal! This is evidence of white privilege."
"Yes, but it appears there is more to these cases than the clickbait article. The black criminal has been a repeat offender and resisted. The white criminal made his first offence, entered a guilty plea, and turned himself in...."
"Stop mansplaining me. I am literally shaking right now"

Get the Half white privilege mug.the everyday reality that white people are treated with respect & are trusted more than people of color (poc). White privilege means that white folks voices & opinions are heard more often than pocs. Turn on the news and count the faces! It means white folks are more likely to advance in their jobs than poc. If a white person's voice is silenced or they are held back in their job, it is most likely not due to their skin color, but it may be due to their prejudices. White privilege means white people's full humanity is on display in the media & poc are reduced to stereotypes. White privilege does not mean that a white person will never experience classism or sexism or be faced with any dehumanizing stereotype. It just means that a white person experiences those things differently than a poc. It is a recognition that despite all other parts of a white person's life, they are less likely to be arrested, incarcerated, or to receive cruel sentences than a poc. They are more able to display/threaten violence or engage in violent behavior against others & leave the situation ALIVE. A white person could be incarcerated or killed, but black kids, unlike white kids, have been killed for playing in a playground or walking down the street. If you are white & still don't think white privilege exists, ask yourself if you would rather have your exact same life & be black.
