You can't just ignore the clear definition of words.

An "advantage" is a "privilege".  And you agree that it exists.

"Racism" is different from "privilege" because minorities can be racists, but they don't have enough power or control to create a privilege through their racism.

Seriously, you can't just make up some argument by trying to say that words do not mean what they clearly mean.

Youre right, it is getting absurd. You keep claiming an advantage given is a privilege, and that only whites can be privileged. 

If an advantage is a privilege, then whoever receives that advantage is the privileged party. If the advantage is based solely upon skin color, then the advantage giver is racist for having given the advantage based solely upon that criteria. You cannot change the meaning of racism just because it doesn't assert your false claim.

And claiming minorities have no power is borderline racist too. Its thought processes like yours that are holding back race relations, not helping heal them. You are simply being more divisive.
