The conceit of the people pushing the "white privilege" myth is that all white people benefited from minorities, especially black people, being oppressed and denied jobs/opportunities that would have theirs if not for white people.
One of the huge problems with theory is the fact that many whites, like my family, lived in cities/areas virtually devoid of black people.
I lived for six or seven years in a basement house sharing a bed with my older brother. I had two sisters who slept in the other corner of the room which also had the furnace, the oil tank, and the bathroom.
We were pretty poor.
The people my father had to compete against in our area were other white people. For decades there was only one black family in my city of fifty thousand, and they lived at the other end of town five miles away. I never knew they existed until some high school friends who lived in the part of town where the black people lived told me about them. I never saw them or hardly any other black people when I was growing up.
That was true for many areas in the upper midwest. Unless they lived in a large city or close to a large city many had virtually no black people in their areas.
White people mostly competed against other white people.
Even now my old hometown's black population is only three or four percent.
Show me the statistics where blacks score even with whites on scholastic tests instead of being at the bottom of the list, and I'll agree with the "white privilege" charge.
Until then, the charge is bunk.
