&gt; basic rights we take for granted (for example, walking into a store and not being treated as a potential thief, or having prospective interviewers assume we&#x27;re professional&#x2F;literate&#x2F;presentable) are actually privileges that many people or color don&#x27;t have.<p>You are aware that Irish and Eastern Europeans, and on and off through history Greek and Italian, have had all those same problems right? You know that &#x27;White Privilege&#x27; you talk about is really just for those of Germanic origin, right?<p>Because I&#x27;d hate for you to look like an idiot telling someone who could have faced all those issues when they moved to Western Europe, the US or Canada that it&#x27;s all wine and roses for them.<p>White Privilege should just be called White Devil. It jsut paints such a simplistic view of the world, not a real one, but one that is useful for rhetoric.
