We see threads on this forum day after day after day telling Blacks, women, etc. how they should feel, act, respond, etc.
Someone secure in his masculinity and/or belief system would just shrug off the nonsense spouted in the video but clearly it touched some sort of nerve.
Trying to understand how this could possibly be important in the larger scheme, but I've got nothing.

^^^^^ Where "white male privilege" comes from....it's earned.
Well i wouldn't count any of the spanish or italians there.
As for the rest, who knows what we would have had, if the spanish and people from these other cultures hadn't destroyed the literature and culture of the peoples that they conquered. Just because it is not there, doesn't mean that it didn't exist.
I just did a quick google search, it looks like the definition of privilege is
a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.
If this is the definition, then I don't think white male privilege really exists. But this is just my opinion.
I do believe blonde children get noticed more, but that is not really "privilege". White European look seems to be the global beauty standard, not sure if that is a privilege. Maybe not.
You can apply privilege to almost anything. How about height privilege, age privilege, ask a five foot tall man how he gets treated, or sixty year old invisible woman looking for a job interviewed by millennials. Life just isn't always fair or equal.
US is not the worst place by far for minorities, not the worst for young women who are doing better academically than males right now and affirmative action as helped a lot of people of color. No one is addressing age discrimination, and it is pretty blatant. How about youth privilege, liberal privilege, STEM privilege, it can go on and on. White privilege is kind of passe and overly broad - as they love to say it isn't the fifties anymore.

I'm not the one arguing otherwise.
That would be the OP.
You seem to be blinded by outrage over the outrage.
Nope.
Just greatly amused.
It's adorable when the snowflakes come out of the woodwork.
