The concept of white privilege remains controversial in the same way people still argue about climate change. A small, increasingly-fringe faction might argue that it doesn't exist at all. Another broad, more conservative group might concede that it does, technically, exist, but still disagree about what it means, whether it's important and what, if anything, we can do about it.
Still, many others would argue that acknowledging and working to understand it is an important step toward fixing the problem -- in the case of white privilege, the problem being compounded, inter-generational inequality that, although sometimes subtle, is still present in the everyday lives of people of color.
Even if we concede that white privilege -- the idea that being born white comes with certain inherent advantages -- is "controversial," does that mean the topic shouldn't be broached in a college course?
According to one white Lone Star College-Tomball student, the concept is just too offensive -- offensive enough to file a complaint against his professor, according to Channel 2.

the concept of “white privelege” is racial profiling of whites.
Liberals prove to be hypocrites once again.
Check your Muzzie privilege while in Saudi Arabia......
White privilege is a bunch of crap... in he sense that it should only be taught as a point of view, not a fill-in-the-blanks checklist. If you’re going to “teach” white privilege, you should also allow discussions of “the white man’s burden.”
There is no white privilege anymore. This is typical liberal bs to make people feel bad so they support more wealth-transfer programs.
Why not take advantage of whatever you’ve been given?
If you’re smart, do you have an unfair advantage?
If you’re good-looking, do you have an unfair advantage?
Everybody’s take what he’s got and run with it.
>>If youre going to teach white privilege, you should also allow discussions of the white mans burden.
That is an excellent point! Thanks.
“White privilege” is the commie ‘RATS’ newest hoax and scam designed by the same jugheads who gave us “global warming”. Braindead, America-hating, Marxist “perfesers”. Look for skin color “credits” in America’s future. It’s already started with Martin, Brown and Garner.
Sign me a member of the small, increasingly-fringe faction.
There is no such thing as white privilege.
Where was that “white privilege” when I was younger, when I could have used it....
As it was I pretty much had to get by by proving at least minimal competence, over and over.
White privilege is a fantasy manufactured to rationalize black disfunction.
I’d go farther. Those who “suffer” from white privilege should off themselves immediately to reduce their suffering.
So blacks beat up blacks in high school if they dare to bring home a book and do home work, because that’s “trying to be white”
Bet when they get to be 25 yrs old and are stupid, ignorant, unemployable knuckle dragging morons, that’s white peoples fault.
Got it
What is the unemployment rate for black college graduates?
The science is settled on white privilege. /s
White Privilege - When other races want the benefits, but don’t want to work as hard to achieve them, as Whites.
Sure there is. It is the privilege to pay the bill for every cockamamie liberal wealth transfer scheme and get to the back of the line when quota based jobs and perks are passed out.
