&gt; Do we have equality today in America?<p>You&#x27;re being parochial. This is an international forum. Do &quot;we&quot; have equality in Israel? In China? In Saudi Arabia?<p>&gt; I don&#x27;t feel the need to push back.<p>You&#x27;ve stated that the phrase &quot;white privilege&quot; is resulting in &quot;spectacular&quot; misunderstanding. I&#x27;m agreeing that it is a fatally fraught phrase. I wish you luck in replacing it (if that&#x27;s what you meant by &quot;we need better language&quot;).<p>&gt; Why does it make you feel that way?<p>Signaling that _you_ are thinking while _they_ are emoting is a bad-faith tell.<p>&gt; I think that would be a naive and ineffective approach [simply talking about &quot;privilege&quot; and not &quot;white privilege&quot; or other privilege]<p>So where does that leave your search for better language?
