@ Smith
"Privilege" in this context means ethnic privilege, or, more accurately, white privilege, and it is an entirely, entirely different beast from the kind of "privilege" that you are referring to, that has to do with personal affluence.
I suppose it was silly of me to assume that you would know that, though, because it doesn't seem like you're terribly educated about racial politics. It's obviously not a high priority for you.
It isn't my job to educate you, either. So I'm not going to bother trying. If you're curious about how this stuff works, there's a wealth of scholarship on the subject.
