Preface: I am white, and I did not read the entire article.

The initial example is cute. A white guy cuts the line and acts like an ass, therefore it is white privilege, not an individual jerk.

What would I be called if I thought the same thing about a black person? A woman?

Maybe the other examples are more spot on, but if you just jump to race as the "why" people do things, instead of individual bad actors trying to game the system, you are just another type of bigot.

Individual cases can of course always be dismissed, but I think the author does a very good job at showing there's a broader social dynamic at play. This piece is worth reading to the end.

I agree. Found this on twitter so decided to post it here.
