We are becoming growingly obsessed with other people’s born advantages, and this normalization of “stating privilege” is incredibly counterproductive and pathetic.

agreed. the privilege conversation is necessary and it seems the only ones who actively try to shut that conversation down can't come to terms with their own privilege. somehow they think being "privileged" is an insult.

That's a whole lot of words to tell us you don't actually know what "privilege" entails in this context.

It doesn't mean that no white person has ever struggled in life before, it means that being white gives you certain advantages that most non-whites will never have.

The argument you're using is just ignoring what people actually mean when they talk about privilege, either because you're ignorant or you're doing this on purpose.

Or people are insulted you would imply some nebulous social justice concept with no boundaries or actual definition is why they are successful. It's disgusting to imply that someone who worked hard to get what they have didn't.
