I never said I was never bullied or beat up.  I was.  I&#x27;m not sure where anyone is saying that white males never experience any hardship.  I&#x27;m pretty sure no one is saying that, except people that want to argue with the term &quot;white male privilege&quot;.<p>Everyday things like going to a store, going to a bank, taking out a car loan, going to a movie all, on the whole, in the united states in the last 50-100 years, tend to be less troublesome for &quot;white&quot; male folk than for non-white and non-male folks.  My assertion here is based on decades of anecdotes and sharing experiences with friends&#x2F;colleagues&#x2F;families.  Is my assertion scientific proof?  Nope.  I just don&#x27;t understand why people can&#x27;t grasp that being part of a majority in a society generally confers some benefits, even if those benefits are just measured in lack of hindrances&#x2F;obstacles&#x2F;barriers.<p>I would say that when people are talking about &quot;white male privilege&quot;, it&#x27;s generally understood to be US&#x2F;Western Europe&#x2F;&#x27;white&#x27; areas that are being talked about.  Me being a &#x27;white male&#x27; in Shanghai had <i>0</i> benefit to me, and was actually a hindrance (though having a poor grasp of the language contributed greatly).
