Framing an issue in one way may immediately get you half-way to the effective solution while another way would get you far away from it. "White privilege" immediately suggests a solution - "deprivileging". Not many would feel like having such a solution applied to them, it feels like an attack and triggers instinctive self-defense. The same issue can be framed as various groups/classes/races being "underprivileged". That triggers empathic response and calls to the sense of justice and equality.
