Yes, I do. If I were to go to a black majority neighborhood, you better believe the police are going to be looking at me closely.

Also, I'm sure there are plenty of times where the description of an alleged perp is a "white male" which would make me the subject of racial profiling.

Really? So if the police department in Los Angeles uses racial profiling, but my local cops don't, I'm still benefiting but my black neighbors aren't? :huh:

You have claimed that white privilege exists because the majority of CEOs and whatnot are white. This is a textbook example of 'causation' when all you have presented is a correlation.
