If you want to play the "white privilege" game, then you need to acknowledge that in Asia, they have "Asian Privilege", in African they have "African Privilege", in the Middle East they have "Indian privilege". In Central and South America it's "Latin Privilege", and most of Europe, US and Canada have the "White Privilege". it's not a privilege like you are making it out to be. If it was a true privilege, I should be able to go anywhere in the world and get my special treatment, but I can't, cause in the Middle East/Africa/Asia/CS America there is no such thing as "white privilege".  It's simply a geographical privilege based on the majority that lives in that location rather than a "White" one.

Now if there is a minority out there screaming about "white privilege" and it's that important to them, there is always a place where they can go and get "their privilege". I plan to move to Asia in a few more years, now if I got over there and start screaming about how unfair it is there for me and they have their "Asian Privilege" what do you think they are gonna do?

No one "missed your point".  We all agree that "white privilege" is the same as "majority privilege" (except in rare historical cases where a minority actually controls most of the power like South Africa during Apartheid).

But most of us want to address the issue in some other way than running all the minorities out of America and making it 100% White Christian.

BTW if you are really moving to Asia I suggest you educate yourself a bit more on their culture.  For example Japanese don't have "Asian" privilege in China.  An American would be more welcome in many places there than a Japanese.
