I’d argue the point of “Privileged” is to generalize people. “Privileged” is something all white people are, and it’s commonly presented as something they have in roughly equal proportion. The point of doing so is to allow the wealthiest richest white people to maintain their wealth and dominance over everybody by drawing negative attention to powerless people who look similar as a scapegoat. There is a reason why enacted measures to remove “privilege” do not include wealth redistribution but include many measures where the cost is put largely on lower and middle class people. When is the last time you heard about a DIE seminar holder talking about the racial wealth gap (in 2019 whites held 87% of US wealth) and we instead mostly talk about relatively smaller income gaps? It’s because the concept of white privilege, conceptually back to the day of the invisible knapsack, rested in the idea that if most people of a racial group experienced something positive they had racial privilege. It focuses on the average and ignores the edge cases. All inequality is blamed on the average cases. The remedies disproportionately affect the average.
