Might they just sit around and say their problems are because of the other person and do nothing of their own to overcome?

This is a perfect example of the different way we see minorities.

When i told my oldest daughter, who is very competitive about her grades and college prospects, that students from elite private high schools would have an advantage over her because they were offered a wider range of courses and could attend expensive summer education camps it motivated her to work harder.  So I don't see how talking about white privilege would hurt minorities.

You, on the other hand, view minorities as inferior people who will just give up because they are too lazy to work hard.

There is absolutely no proof that speaking the truth about white privilege will hurt minorities.  that theory is only popular among people who see minorities as inferior people.
