Here's one of many examples from my experiences.
Sitting in front of the mortgage banker as the wife, (jewish) and I are applying for our first mortgage.
He gets to the part about race, looks up at us and says "white". I'm about to correct him and he looks back down and mumbles under his breath, "good".
I can tell you from personal first hand experience that white priviledge in this country is very real. So please stick to topics that you actually know something about. And not just what you copy n paste.

I see, and from this anecdote, you're proving what, precisely? That this banker is a bigot? Perhaps, but little else I'm afraid.
