Well, being white does not create a stereotype that might influence your live in a significantly disadvanatageous way.

Sure, if you want to play basketball, some might say that you can't jump.

Really?
Blacks have a history of slavery that still manifests itself in getting a significantly worse start in life, a hopeless one in many cases. Add in a significantly higher chance to fall victim of a crime, be shot by police, raided by police or getting imprisoned and so on. Blacks still get diminshed often, talked down to, demonstrably have a harder time to achieve anything, and there is still much racial stereotyping going on that is apparently harmful to their life.
You white dude, on the other hand, will get called privileged by someone on TV at times. Yeah, that's really awful too.

I agree that some expressions of white guilt are weird to see.
