&gt; <i>I&#x27;m from an Eastern Europe and my family never was rich</i><p>Then the comment does not apply to you.<p>I don&#x27;t think you quite understand how deep the rabbit hole of this form of &quot;whiteness&quot; goes; as a social construct it implies people from <i>Western Europe or North America</i>. Surely you have experienced how there are people from there who treat Eastern Europe people as less &quot;civilized? Similarly for, say, Mediterranean ethnicities.<p>White male privilege might not (fully) extend to you, but that does not disprove its existence.
