Maybe your state is different. I am minority and I have been told many times there is no racism because I am doing okay financially. Have you been asked where you are really from? I used to get that a lot even though my NY/New England accent is horrific.
BTW I don't believe in white privilege either. I think it's just a term some minorities use as an excuse. Some of the most racist incidents I had from childhood were all from minorities.

I agree wholeheartedly that there shouldn't be a free ride but why should someone have to work harder to achieve the same result as any other person? Why in the world should anybody have to do ANY work to enjoy the same basic freedoms and rights as anyone else?
