The privilege is in the social status, That's why it's called socio-economic stratification

Now you can make the argument that whites of the majority of the wealth, but that's a separate argument.

I agree that social class privilege is a thing, and has always been a greater problem for societies more any other type of privilege. In fact, reaching a socio-economic balance in a society may be the necessary precursor to addressing any remaining perceived privilege types, IMHO. But we haven't figured a way to do that yet.

But I also believe that every race, religion, ethnicity, etc. has their own set of privileges. Usually, these privileges are not so prevalent in the society unless they belong to the majority race, religion, ethnicity, etc.  But there are some exceptions. Take South Africa prior to the nineties. Whites were (and are) a minority there. Yet they held a lot of privileges in that society. That's a rare situation, but it isn't unique. For those familiar with the Gulf States, some of them have privileged minority classes of Sunni's and under-privileged majority classes made up of other religions and sects (primarily Shi'ite).

One of the privileges I feel that I, as a white Christian dude, experience here in the U.S. is a reduced concern from organized, racially-motivated hate groups. No doubt there are organized groups among minority races that wish ill-will upon YT's such as myself. But there are none that come near the size, scope and political power of the KKK, et al.
