At no point did I do that. I said that privilege it not an attack. I said that it doesn't imply that you are doing bad things.
All it means that there's a good chance that the particular aspect of your identity may have given you a leg up over others who are identical to you in all other respects. That doesn't mean you've done a bad thing, it's just something that's worth recognizing. It doesn't mean that you're universally better off, either; like I said that's the point of intersectionality -- you can have some privilege due to one aspect of your life which is completely eclipsed by another aspect of your life, e.g. not living in the U.S.
I can't understand the first half of your comment at all. Tending to agree with sho_hn that you're basically trying to be offended here.
