being white affords you certain advantages based upon living in a country with a strong history of systematic oppression and strongly increases the chances of being born into better situations.
Being white doesn't mean everything is handed to you. It means you are far less likely to face certain road blocks that minorities face.
Examples would be how often black people get followed around in stores by managers thinking they are going to steal while white people aren't used to it.
Or how there are more white legacy students in college than there are any particular minority.

The first one I'm not sure how you could prove how often that happens or even that it's because of race so that isn't a good example, and the second one, can you explain a bit more what that is please?
