Privilege is invisible to those who have it

  That has a bit of an "emperors new clothes" feel to it if you ask me

  > Privilege is invisible to those who have it This is tricky, because in theory it can apply both ways, but in practice people who accuse others of having invisible privileges will deny having their own. It's like having your cake and eating it too. "You are so privileged!" "No, I am not." "Yes you are, but you can't see it, precisely because you are privileged." "Well, you are privileged too, in a different way." "No, I am not." "How could you know, if the privilege is invisible to those who have it?" "Well, I just know for fact that you are privileged and I am not. And my friends agree with me. Unlike your friends, who agree with you, because they are as wrong as you are."
