&gt;I speak as a white male who grew up in the 80s and in to technology. I certainly remember it was not &#x27;cool&#x27; to be in to computers&#x2F;tech back then (not like now) but there should be little disagreement that being male was not a hindrance for most desired walks of life (whereas being female, moreso then, definitely was).<p>Really? I physically got my ass kicked every single day. At one point it was so bad i had to get shoulder surgery because i took a beating from black kids who thought i was a geek or whatever. I grew up in what is now considered a ghetto and i was fearful for my life for studying CS. If this white privilege bs existed i would be a millionaire by now and i would still be able to use my left arm to lift more than a liter of milk. People use it as an excuse for racism and their white guilt bullshit. We didn&#x27;t grow up in the US, we didnt have black slaves and some of our family was slaves.<p>Just looking at the US and seeing this &quot;white privilege&quot; makes me angry. I doubt i as a white european could get a scholarship to a college even though i&#x27;ve been in software for 10+ years. But you see stories every single day that people find it unfair that there is only scholarships for african americans&#x2F;asian americans and that they&#x27;re cutting back on asian americans because apparently they&#x27;re under &quot;white privilege&quot; as well. 
I&#x27;m sorry if i haven&#x27;t gotten my point across or if i haven&#x27;t typed things properly, but stuff like this infuriates me to no end when i literally had to fight my way to school everyday.
