White Privilege

According to Wikipedia white privilege is:

the societal privilege that benefits white people over non-white people in some societies, particularly if they are otherwise under the same social, political, or economic circumstances.

Eugenia Cheng in The Art of Logic in an Illogical World dissolves the argument that the existence of well-off nonwhite people proves white privileged does not exist:

White privilege doesn’t mean that every white person is better off than every nonwhite person. It means that if any given nonwhite person we’re in exactly the same circumstances but white, they would be better placed in society and life.
