Oh ok sorry I misunderstood what you were saying. I definitely agree with you on that. In particular I really think privilege is what you make of it. Having been in the Navy, I met a lot of people who were insanely underprivileged growing up that enlisted to get away from their situation and did very well for themselves. Then you've got people like that kid that used being rich as a court defense (and won) after killing several people drunk driving... That's when privilege is a problem, but I don't think most "privileged white kids" are like that.
