I hope they were at least given that privilege.
Nope. That's part of white privilege only. They clearly didn't qualify.
(If I'm going to be accused of it anyway, may as well get some mileage out of it.)
Dont play into their games. Once you adopt their terms they expect you to play by their rules.
I sure dont remember any special privileges growing up. Our family didnt get the memo nor received forms to join some BS white privilege club.
