There isn't only one privilege. You've already agreed that privilege is based in racism. Racism exists across a spectrum. It's not a singular entity confined to a single race.
Quote:Minorities do not have enough power to give privilege greater than what the white people get.
What industry is controlled by minorities to the extent that they can oppress white people and exclude them. Other than Rap/Hip-hop I can't think f a single example.
Your claim that minorities do not hold positions of power in today's society is absurd.
The term privilege in the racial context we are discussing means a person is receiving some type of advantage (whether knowingly or not) from someone else based solely upon the color of their skin.
You don't have to control entire industries to have power over others. Minorities all over the US are policemen, hiring managers, teachers and professors, judges, politicians, loan officers, prosecutors, housing managers, small business owners, large business owners and a myriad other types of positions in which they have power over others.
Are you denying that minorities exist in these types of positions in today's society?
If you are, then you're a racist and part of the problem.
If you are not, then privilege isn't confined to white people.
