"They would have it even worse if they were black. That's white privilege."
Sounds to me more like a flaw with blacks than some kind of extra advantage for Whites. i.e. under the same conditions blacks do worse than Whites. Guess blacks really do just suck, eh?
"They would have it even worse if they were women. That's male privilege."
"They would have it even worse if they were gay. That's straight privilege."
"They would have it even worse if they were fat. That's thin privilege."
Heh! Good point. The above applies to these examples too. Gays make things worse for themselves. So do fatties. So do women in fact, but at least in their defense they can't help being born female. Though the ones who don't hate men tend to be well cared for and integrated into society anyway, so really the only time something is worse for women is generally when they've made it worse for themselves.
ETA: It's interesting how in each of these examples, you can immediately replace the word "privilege" with the concepts of "being on time, acting responsibly, not committing crimes, not being violent, behaving yourself in a socially-acceptable manner," all simply boiling down to
just being civilized instead of being a chimp, a whore, a fag, or a pig. Anyone complaining about [other group] "privilege" is simply admitting "I cannot emulate the very basic, simple behaviors I see in [other group] that affords them success."
I dunno. Seems like somebody enjoying "privilege" is really just reaping the benefits of being a civilized creature. It's the default state for humans. It's the inferior ones who can't live up to that standard.
