You believe in white privilege?

"I as a straight white man have felt attacked for my race and gender and sexuality for over a decade and that it wasn't being taken seriously by the mainstream."

No, the opposite. My reaction to the quote was giving me a pause about this belief, though.

Edit: To clarify, I'm saying I felt more attacked than other groups, but was reflecting on if I'm just being attacked more than before, but not more than other groups.

No but that's what I mean. If you were attacked less than other groups, that would imply you had some privilege that they did not enjoy.

I feel more attacked than others, or at least that shallow attacks based on nothing other than being straight, white, or men are more accepted in recent memory.

I do not believe in white privilege. If there was, then all these instances of genetically white people pretending to claim they're in a different race wouldn't exist .
