For people who deny that white privilege exists. White privilege is simply put, the being seen individually. Minority groups have not been extended the the idea of individualism, while whites have. White guy goes an mass murders someone, it's basically a lone wolf shooter. Muslim guy does it, first things people start saying "radical Islam, ties to ISIS" with zero evidence.
White privilege is the freedom from being grouped and being judged as a group. This does not mean that minorities cannot prevail as a result of this reality. But it's very hard to deny that minorities aren't looked at nearly as individually as white people are. That alone is privilege.
what can be done about it? It's simple, abolish all racial classification. As it actually serves no purpose but government coercion.

Islam is not a race. Those white Muslim brothers in Boston, coming from another country, had more white privilege in the USA than my brown mulatto __ ever had and ever will. Period.
Racial description can not be eliminated without some adverse affects in today's modern policing and investigation techniques to study or identify racism (which looks at patterns).
With respect to the police the terms "white male about age 40 and about 5'5" in height" helps them when quickly seeking info from the public or warning them about a serial rapists on the loose.
To find out if Bank of America is racially discriminating against black employees you need a term like or akin to "black." Because those that carry out the investigation look for patterns of discrimination against black employees inside the company.

These patterns are really not effective in fighting crime. Police are mostly inept in solving cases, and even worse in crime prevention. So stating that racial classification should remain in crime fighting is a false premise. If police were killing it in law enforcement, you may have a case. But they're not, so it's really not a legit argument.

The easiest solution is for the oppressed group, as you call it, to live where they are the majority. Simple.
Then they will have "privilege". Solved.
Pretty sure that's the dynamic everywhere on the planet.
This "privilege" nonsense is going nowhere. It actually exasperates the situation.

White privilege is being seen as an individual you say, as you then proceed to assume that this is true for all white people and group them together in one fell swoop.

I was pretty much going to say the same thing. This is the most illogical statement by the OP.

People are not viewed as individuals by liberals or democrats, that's for sure. They are the ones who continually lump people into groups, according to their skin color, ethnicity, race, gender preference, etc...
It's the constitutional conservatives who have been treating people as free minded individuals, and they are continually ridiculed for it. How many times have you heard people complain that conservatives are not reaching out to group x, y or z? It's because conservatives view people as free individuals, not seemingly as like-minded hive minds, or herd animals, as the libs think of them.

This entire premise doesn't make any sense. So white people are seen as individuals, but when they commit a crime, are grouped into bubble of being a lone wolf?
Isn't that still grouping them?
Also, please stop believing this BuzzFeed/SJW/ish type of BS they teach you. It's just another form of racism, but viewed at another angle.
