I think it's useful to mention that this privilege is not just a white thing. It's a "people who were born in a first world country" thing. By default, that huge group of people gets privileges that others can only dream of obtaining. You don't have to spend years of your life just trying to get out of a horrible country where you were born. And most of the time, people don't seem to realize and acknowledge this. Hell, I've met Americans giving me blank stares when I would talk about how difficult it is for me to get even a tourist visa to go to the US. First world privilege should end. Black, white, asian, latino - doesn't matter. If you were born in a modern and developed country, you are already a part of a privileged group. Acknowledge this, gain some humility and try to better yourself and others around you. I urge people to organize YC Open Office Hours for non-first-world people, immigrants and the like.
