The 'White Privilege' statement is designed to inflict shame and fear of speaking out in US whites. Ironically there is a generation of white youth that has been successfully sold this bullshit and believe it like a religion.
It does not exist, it is better called 'an advantage', an advantage that exists for every racial majority in every country on Earth. It is a function of society worldwide.
Do white people enjoy a 'privilege' in Iran, China, India, or say Syria; no, but Iranians, Chinese, Indians, and Syrians do, because they are the majority race in those countries. If you look at the news from those countries it is pretty damn clear who is in charge and who has the 'advantage'. Also in those countries they celebrate their racial background, they are proud of who they are.
However in Western white democracies there is now a successful effort to make you ashamed of your country, to abuse you for being proud of being a white American.
If anyone counters this by trying to imply America has a worse racial history than other countries, remind them of how as a white person you would expect to be treated in the countries I listed above, also remind them of Rwandan, Tibet, etc.
Stop letting the media control your history, America has made massive strides towards racial equality, far more than almost any other country on Earth. The white race is virtually the only race that even considers racial equality a thing, it is both our strength, but also a weakness that is being exploited by the Left right now.
Iranians are white (they are literally Aryans and the name Iran was anciently Aryānām "(Land of the) Aryans"), but I agree with your other points. Syrians are mixed, but are generally Caucasian as well.
The point was simply that you can go to any country on Earth and find a group with a racial advantage. Literally any country.
Like I said, I agree with your other points. :)
I would counter-counter the first case with "you have misunderstood" or better, "how did you get from 'america has made the best progress on this' to 'bad things are ok'?"
Make them explain and justify their bullshit, and put them in the hot seat. Once you counter, shut up. They will find the silence uncomfortable and babble incoherently - which everyone else will see.
For the second case, I'd use "humanity sucking does not change the fact that america has made the best progress on this. Perhaps you should take your campaign to (country with terrible record on issue in question)" or simply "so you admit that you suck?"
White privilege is just a new term for work ethic.
