Your comment is a powerful acknowledgement of the dominance of your group (white male) via a technique that I've only seen a few times: specifically describing some of the perquisites of your position in society.
As I've dealt with various issues throughout my life, I've had identity crises where I've had to deal with similar introspection due to being a male, which comes with a number of ... social benefits (I feel gross saying it). while I'm mostly white, the dark skin color that I had as a child set me apart, and I think prepared me for the introspection that I had to go through.
Was there a specific book or experience that aided you? I'm always hunting down challenges to what I perceive as natural, normal or inevitable.
