The fact that there is a section of society that feels they have not achieved this state is a matter for concern and action by those that have, but it's not something that those that have achieved it should be criticised for.
You're right.
But I don't think that's what's supposed to be meant by "white privilege." (I think RAZD has it wrong).
I mean, not totally wrong, just missing one more step.
The last step being something like what you stated: "...and they don't take any concern or action for those who don't have it (and possibly even disdain)."
Sort of like irony.
10 000 spoons when all you need is a knife isn't in itself ironic... it needs that extra little step of something like "...and I worked in a knife factory all day before I got home to this situation."
White privilege carries that extra step of being white and in those situations... and then also not caring (or even being against) helping others gain that same "basic non-stature."
Or... maybe that's just what I think it should be
