I understand it's not specific, but if we just called it "majority privilege" nobody would care. For better or worse "white privilege" has people talking and it's because the race with privilege is being called out and it's accomplishing things. The people open to the phrase are talking, the people offended are talking, and in general the basic idea is entering the public consciousness in a way that it wouldn't if it were more general. I think this will accomplish far more in the long run than using some boring phrase nobody in society will ever actually care or even hear about.
