That is complete and utter bullshit. How many white people wouldn't trade places with Michael Jordan? That joke is, what, a false strawman? The premise is that racism isn't only rampant, but so dominant that people wouldn't "tolerate" being black in exchange for fame and fortune. Now THAT is funny. Sure, potentially not being able to get a cab back to my NY penthouse apartment is a real deal breaker....
White privilege is largely an invention of activists in response to failed social and liberal policies....or perhaps in response to their success - the lack of overt racism as society progresses leads to insinuations of hidden racism which can't honestly be proven or disproven.
