But it's also a culture specific concept. You could call it American White Privilege and I'd say good on you, but it's not called that and we just have to live with it and argue the idea in the hope that people who wouldn't believe in it no matter what you called it would get it through their skulls. It's still a concept with overlap no matter where you live in Western Society given our shared history. It's one of those, "just deal with it" things.
