Is white privilege real?

No, it is not real.

No, it's a ridiculous myth. If you're going to start a thread like this, at least contribute with your opinion to begin with.

in the past - yes, nowadays - no. I even feel that you can be discriminated in some places in the world simply because of this myth

In Asia - yes. They love white people. Look at this commercial

Nope it is not, if you are white, go around the world and try to live in different countries, see if you are privileged because of your whiteness, I bet you will not experience such a thing, you might experience racism and discrimination especially when stopped by local police or border control (been there).

“White privilege” doesn't exist, it's just an easy way to justify your failure: it's easier to blame somebody else instead of to take your responsibility. Didn’t get the job = white privilege, didn’t make good grades = white privilege. It removes all the blame from the person that did not succeed. ?

Yes. It's understanding systemic and institutional problems that affect those of different race without experiencing it. But it's also contextual in regards to where you are in the world, if you're in a White majority country that pushes brown people who are fleeing war that try to come into a country that's removed all it's safe passages for migrants, then yes, White Privilege is a thing in that country.

WP aside, I don't have much else so gotta be real, if i made it that far 😁

I am not sure I can fully agree, what about white people that are fleeing a war and are refused an entry to country with majority of white population? Using my own experience I feel as it more related to the nationality not a race.
