Privilege - an alternative view

 But it’s not a sin to be born white in a historically white country. It’s not a sin for a society to build structures that privilege its members–on the contrary, that’s the very purpose of society. It’s not a sin for parents to privilege their children–again, that’s the very purpose of parents. Neither is it a sin to actually benefit from such privilege–rather, we should be grateful for it.

There can be no doubt that it is a certain benefit to be able to pass as a native in one's own country, by holding the same culture, looking like the other natives, speaking their language (like a native), and practicing their customs. It takes a special kind of moron to pretend that is in any way a bad thing that should be avoided.
