It's called white privilege. I intentionally avoid that label. There's a subtle difference between the notions of privilege and normal/regular/standard . Privilege is a higher level than standard and standard is better than disenfranchisement. It can be irksome to someone getting standard treatment to be told he's privileged. It's also not really accurate. Being treated decently should be standard. Privilege implies ass kissing. So I would prefer standard vs substandard as language to illustrate the difference. "White privilege" is a taunt. Not to say one shouldn't taunt, particularly when the target of the taunt is dedicated to owning the libs via taunts. Just stating my preference. It's nice he's a superb example of something, isn't it? Indeed.
