[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1638796, member: 18225"] It seems to me that the term 'white privilege' means less about specific advantages conferred to white people than it does about institutionalized disadvantages conferred to non-whites, of which many examples abound. So, much like a relief printing, the areas defined are defined by their absence, in which case 'white privilege' isn't so much that special things are given to whites, it's that the basic things that whites enjoy have traditionally been unavailable to non-whites. In that sense, the term 'white privilege' is sort of nonsensical, but the concept stands. [/QUOTE]
