Ignoring the problem because there are other problems isn't the answer, at least not to me.
I am not ignoring the problem. I have maintained over and over that racism needs to be combatted. I simply do not believe that terms like white privilege and institutionalized racism need to be added to the lexicon to make it appear like there are more problems. They are both covered under the term racism. If you are afforded an advantage based solely upon your skin color, that's privilege. That privilege was afforded to you by a racist person who made the decision to give you the advantage based upon your race. Racism is the basis for any type of privilege. Call it racism, not privilege because that's the basis of it.
