"But, worse, aside from being non-useful, such stereotyping by (some) thinkers is the very thing they criticize in despise in others, so it's an error in thinking, too!" Wrong, it has to start somewhere. The idea that stereotyping will just fix itself probably won't happen. Now, yes, the idea of "white privilege" is targeting one group, but it is the majority in this country (for now, 30 years it may change) and it is the group that has been the root of racism/bigotry in this country. But if it makes you feel better, you can say "majority privilege" instead.
