You're setting up a straw man here.

No one talking about white privilege says it means white people can't ever have a tough life. Just as being black doesn't mean you can't ever be successful.

It's simply argued that if all other things were equal, chances are you'd have it harder as a minority.

False. Many people who speak frequently about white privilege actually do sometimes make the argument that white people's lives are so intrinsically easier than POCs, that we need not ever worry about harming any white people.

This mentality is most visible when a gang of righteous ideologues are waging a vicious doxxing or "harass their employer until they fire them" campaign against an accused white person.

Not if you are Chinese or Indian.
