White privilege is a system where people are given a boost from birth into a society, which favors white people. It is not the fault of the individual, as you insinuate, but the structure of society.
All you have to do is look around you, right here in the united snakes of Amerikkka to see instances of White privilege:
1. Not being profiled everywhere they go.
2. Not stuck in a cycle of poverty, disease, despair, and death.
3. Not being excluded from discussions in the media that pertain to subjects other than race.
4. It did not take CIVIL WARS to free them from slavery.
5. Not victim of racist discrimination in employment, housing, education, banking and other sectors in the society.
