No, pretty sure “perspective” is actually the correct term here. I’ve seen plenty of guys like you on the internet, whining because they think someone is “try to make them feel bad!” Grow up. I’m white as well. I don’t feel guilty about it, but I at least have enough awareness to recognize that being part of a very powerful majority in this country has lent me certain privileges that people who are part of historically discriminated-against minorities just don’t have. Guess what - life is hard, and it’s hard for everyone. No one who talks about male or white privilege thinks that all white guys have easy lives. But white guys don’t have the same degree of difficulty that groups who have only recently (from a historical perspective) begun to have serious discrimination against their groups addressed.
