I also wonder what exactly the thing with white privilege is. What exactly do they mean? Can they give some examples? Because then we can perhaps do something about it. Otherwise it's just a vague notion.
"Privilege" has become just another blanket theorem that can be applied to anything to shut you up from saying something someone else doesn't like. It's just a generic way of using *insert privilege here* as a reason to discount any argument whether it's related to your so-called privilege or not. Users of it take pride in "shutting down" opponents like this and personally, it makes me sick. Holders of privilege could include anyone that is: male, heterosexual, white, employed, "cisgender", wealthy, not abjectly poor, medium build, ... I'm sure the list goes on. Of course proponents of this particular slur have to somehow explain away the fact that this means pretty much anyone could be "privileged" based on pretty much any attribute they possess, so they created "intersectionality": One's oppression and/or privilege is a metric defined by how many of these multitudes of dimensions of privilege overlap. The more overlap, the more privilege, or on the flipside: oppression. Essentially it's a system for ranking people based on their attributes designed by people who claim to be against ranking people on their attributes. It's braindead, has no room for individuality within groups, and in most cases I've seen it used: Entirely besides the bloody point.
Example:
BM: Hey why did you do that thing you did? You just cost a lot of people a lot of money...
SJW: I don't need to sit here and be judged by a wealthy privileged cisgender white male!
