I truly do agree with most of what you say here, but I will make a sematic quibble about the term "white privilege". It is a fundamentally false phrase. Not being discriminated against, not being viewed with inherent mistrust, not being viewed as a "thug", etc., is not a "privilege" that white people have. Those are things all people have as an inherent right. That it is being denied people in our society because of their skin color, or their ethnicity is the issue, and the failing of our society (and a good number of people within it, typically white, that fail to view others they way they should want themselves to be viewed).
