White privilege is being forced to endure ridicule for realizing the American dream via the fruit of your own labors.

White privilege is being turned down for a job you are qualified for, in favor of someone who is not as well qualified, in order to create a racially “balanced” utopia.

"endure ridicule"

Leftists have been using the "white privilege" trope for about twenty years now as a means of explaining the way things are the way they are. According to this totally lunatic theory the only reason people of European descent got where they are is the color of their skin. If that theory is true, he'll have to explain the success of Europeans in many parts of the country (like mine) where the minority population is minimal and sometimes nonexistent. There was a total of ONE!! black family that lived in my hometown of fifty thousand population when I grew up. Even now the black population is only one percent of the total. If the white privilege theory of white people only succeeding by oppressing minorities, how did they succeed?

I don't think anybody, even the demented fools like Wise, actually believe this. Bill Bradley alluded to wp in his disastrous bid for the White House in 2000. I'm sure the white privilege explanation went over real well in white, blue-collar audiences. (smirk)
