The Fallacy of White Privilege

So, if you defined said privilege as "white" privilege, than that "special right, advantage, or immunity" is granted to all whites. If not, then you are incorrectly labeling said privileges as belonging to whites. And, as I've already demonstrated, not all white people benefit from "white privilege". Ergo, ipso facto, e pluribus unum, there is no such thing as white privilege.

1.  Your definition includes the word "available".  So by your own definition not all white people have to benefit.  All that matters is that the benefit is available to all white people.

2.  I missed where you demonstrated how all white people did not benefit from "white privilege".  I guarantee that you have never been stopped, detained, or searched by the police just because you are white.  You have never been denied a job interview because you are white.  You have never been denied a housing opportunity because you are white.
