> with the goal being to extract money from that guilt. There can be no other purpose for pushing the "white privilege" premise than ultimately getting money from it. So... if I use the term then I am by definition trying to extract money from you? > Japan, all they see are Japanese people. Ditto China, and so on and so forth. Many of those countries are incredibly xenophobic. They don't have a concept of (e.g.) 'Japanese Privilege' as such, because they still have a national identity centered around "Japanese people are best people" or "Japanese culture is best culture" (even if those aren't explicitly stated). Look at the way that Japan has increased border security directed at foreigners while not acknowledging that the only terrorist attacks on Japanese soil were by Japanese citizens. If you feel that there is no 'Japanese Privilege' for many things when you are in Japan, then you are just kidding yourself. ... I'm curious what you would use to refer to the fact that as a white person you can (e.g.) go fishing without needing to worry about random people hurling racial slurs at you (to the point that people driving by will stop their car just to yell at you)[1]? Are you arguing that things like this have zero affect on a person?
