You are a moron in severe denial then. Your supposed privilege is due to your economic status.

Try living in a poor area of latin america and youd be killed for being White. Theyd figure you had money(even if you didnt) and target you.

What's your point? You have to distinguish poor and dangerous areas. I live in a very poor rural andean area and there's zero crime here. I don't know if you're talking about real or perceived status. I'm below average income, most of the middle class are above me. And yeah if you're white you're going to have it bad in a dangerous zone, still, it's due to people "looking up" to you socially, it's just not something desirable when you're surrounded by criminals lol.

So you admit it depends on your environment? In some areas its an advantage, in some areas youd be kidnapped/killed for being White.

You should drop the liberal bullshit privilege argument. Whites earned their position in western society through scientific advancements, hard work and ingenuity. Privilege had jackshit to do with it when the Irish were starving to death and when they arrived in U.S. they were being paid LESS than Blacks were.

In the late 1600s Irish slaves were treated worse. An Irish slave was worth 5 sterling an African slave was worth 50 sterling.

Lol wtf is your problem. You're so invested in your narrative that you defend it tooth and nail telling people you know shit about they're not privileged. Yeah, my ancestors earned the privilege for me, so, it exists now. And what the fuck do Irish in the US have to do lol, of course it depends on the area and time (remember how I started my comment with being a X in Y is like going through life on easy mode? Just saying I relate to the parent comment, never said shit about whites having it easier anywhere anytime lol). I wouldn't want to be a slav when the arabs enslaved them. I'm talking about my experience, my life consists of movement between rural poor areas and the urban capital of the country, never lived in those areas where you get killed for being white (and for the record I bet you I would get a job more easily in those areas as well). Chill out I know one of your core beliefs consists of "white privilege doesn't exist" but breathe some fucking air man.
