There is such a thing as white privilege in the USA, but it only exists because whites are a majority and has nothing to do with racism. It's just the natural advantages of having been the majority for a long period of time.
It's not any different than Chinese people being more privileged than non-Chinese people living in China. No one would be surprised if Chinese people on average made more money or owned more businesses than other races in China, if you look at things like that the whole focus on this white privilege idea looks ridiculous.
People are always going to prefer their own race even if they treat everyone equally. There are always going to be a small minority of racists in every society who can't tolerate differences. Many Asian countries traditionally do not trust outsiders so the percentage of racists there is probably MUCH higher than in the USA. I would argue that if other countries were recorded onto the internet to the same degree the USA is, you would see that the USA is probably one of the most tolerant countries by far.

You have not come to learn what your white privilege is. you have been brainwashed! You are both celebrities and you will never know or (for few) remember what under-privileged people of ALL races have to deal with. White privilege doesn't exist. CELEBRITY STATUS privilege exists. so consider changing the term. This is being used to divide the country. Wake up. A divided country can not stand people!

I wonder how much will change after Black lives matter movement is finished. Because all shows now invite a lot of colored people on the shows now, but will it last? Will it really change at the roots of the problem?

How about admitting to your celebrity privilege, Dax? You and your wife practice it routinely while being constantly interviewed by a woman using that same privilege daily?

It's really cool that at first, he might have been a little ignorant, but then was able to see he was wrong and to understand and really get it.
