Privilege?
What's a privilege? Merriam Webster notes that it comes from Latin roots that mean "private law" - in other words, not something that applies to all people, but something that pertains to a select few, or a law or rule for a private party, or select persons.
White Privilege? What does it mean? Something protected or set aside for white people.
