Just say - you only saying that because I’m gay or your only saying that because I’m transgender. Neither has to be true but truth isn’t the issue.

You can always say your Native American....

There was a New York response that generally fit most anything. The accused would grab his crotch and proclaim: “I got your privilege, right here!” That, or tell them to shove it up their a$$.

Depending on the audience and occasion, my inclination is say that so-called "white privilege" consists of hard work, education, following the law, and being raised by loving parents who put the well-being of their children first. When Black people are raised and act the same way, they get the same or better results.

A more sharp-edged way yo make the same point is say that the problem is not white privilege but Black incapacity and misbehavior: high crime, poor educational effort, minimal work effort, and being raised by a single parent. Of course some sneaky Blacks "act White" and become successful and respected. Fortunately, racist Whites can count on the many Blacks who discourage such behavior.

I ask them if they believe in Natural Selection. Being Liberals they do. Then I tell them it’s no accident that the white man ended up on top of the food chain... it was nature that did that.

Success begets success.
Cumulative success advances exponentially.
Offspring share genetic & memetic traits.

And the unsuccessful, being unsuccessful, fail to understand the causes of cumulative success - attributing it to genetic traits, and cultural “unfairness”.

To wit: if they’re blaming “white privilege”, they’re incapable of understanding what makes success.

Reply, “I’m related to Elizabeth Warren; I’m actually a Native American.”

In my case I can actually prove that!

Perhaps the best response is, “I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

Always said with a kind smile!

CA....

"What are you talking about? I'm black."

(Which is confusing as hell because I am the whitest guy you'll ever meet.)

Name one non European cultured nation to which people are flocking to. Anyone.

Many would love to go to Japan, but the Japanese are not letting them in.

Lots of people go to Tahiti... but then, it was conquered by white people and they do not eat people there anymore..

"“Guess you’ll have to take it up with God..."

Good one! That's my favorite response.

White people do not have the privilege of doing that in public.

Sure they do.

They just don't have any interest in doing that in public.

Most white people I know have a few things that apparently does show up in the genetic code of these mutants: standards of decency and a sense of shame.

Racist bullying by a privileged liberal does nothing to help poor people of every color.

The best response??

Simply point at the Moon, make them look up, and say:

“White Privilege left footprints on the moon. When you - insert aggrieved victim group du jour - can duplicate that feat, THEN we’ll talk.”

But failing that, Hey, “Go F*** Yourself” is ALWAYS on the top of the list when dealing with the NPCs.
