Gee, I live with my wife and five children in a 3-bedroom, 1,100 apartment. Where's my "privilege"?

She's your wife, and they're your kids!

Just kidding. I'm with you 100%. My suburban white kids can just go to the end of the line. We see it with the local busing program. The ungrateful, minority inner-city kids cause most of the trouble in the school, and the teachers are far more tolerant of them than of the local kids, who get the PC zero-tolerance Africa was a wonderful civilization treatment. My kids are fairly bright, so when they had a state-wide test (Massachusetts famous MCAS) they did very well in Math and Science. However, in history, they did quite poorly, because history isn't what they teach these days. Fortunately, they can imbibe some of my perspectives, which have imbued them with a healthy amount of cynicism.
