Privilege is a thing. It exists, provably so. The problem is that the left wants to claim only one group has a monopoly on it, when in fact privilege flies all over the place. Every one is different, not necessarily equal or fairly doled out, but existing. There is male privilege and female privilege. Black privilege, white privilege, Chinese privilege and Japanese privilege and Indian privilege. There's rich privilege and poor privilege.

The problem is always when someone claims the concept is monopolized by a certain group. To do so is always bigotry, no matter how socially acceptable.
