I'm not educated enough on the matter to give a straight yes or no, but what I do believe is that a lot of issues that people say are because of white privilege are in fact due to wealth imbalance. It's just my opinion and I don't have any evidence to back it up with, however I think you will rarely see non-white people complaining about white privilege when they grew up rich.

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.

The UK actually set up a migration effort almost immediately when the Ukraine war started, and wanted people to volunteer to take Ukrainians into their homes. Which hammers home my point that a white country experiencing war that is actually a regional conflict set up safe passages for white europeans to come over, but will always push those boats with brown people back out to sea. Daytime talk radio in the UK is full of people who phone in to say that the English Channel should have army boats and sharks to stop all the brown people coming over who are fleeing war, and using the 'why not france?' but with Ukraine, everything is permitted.

Partially - it is hard to think what they deem to be privieges

Yes, being white is great and being some faggot nigger is not.

Travelled to Asia and felt people like me a lot for my white skin. A lot of people assumed I was loaded because I was white, so could be that.

But, I guess I would be disadvantaged now for being white in the west.

From the outside it will look like that. I saw the bigger picture and it has more to do with the culture and the terms that were put in order for Ukrainians to come to UK; radio stations that I listened to ignore that. Look more into Ukrainian culture and patriotism, majority of the people that came to UK will not stay here forever, it is the cultural thing. I saw the same with people from Carib regions that came to Holland; strong family values in Caribbean made them go back home once their education was finished. When the war is over and Ukranine will win, Ukrainians will go back home, again it is cultural thing. Eastern European mindset is similar from the one in the West of the Europe what makes easier to adapt. From my prespective, people who are coming to the UK in the boats are not escpaping war, the boats come from France, as far as I am aware there is no war in France. I always wondered, why people who travel in the boats from Calais do not go to Brit Embassy in France or any other EU country they crossed through? If I would in need this would be the first thing I would do and if Embassy would refuse to help me for sure I would go to media and show the prove that British Embassy ignored me etc., I have never read that any of the migrants from the boats tried doing so.

no. if your boss likes you, you've got a "you" privilege.

no discrimination

I come from SA. white priveledge only exists when your too lazy to make your own way in life and need a reason other than yourself why you failed.
