[Aramgutang]

In many contexts, that's what privilege is: the advantages bestowed to you at birth as a result of what others who are like you in some way (nationality, skin colour, gender) did in the past.

The privileges of having Swedish nationality exist because of what other Swedes did in the past, outside of your control as a newborn Swede.

Yes, in some cases you do have somewhat of a responsibility to act in a manner that preserves the advantage.

And when you've been "privileged" with a disadvantage, you have the power to work towards eliminating it, as you said.

These are not exclusive concepts.
