    Privilege is based on class, not race.  There are very poor of all races.  The media and progressives use the term "white privilege" to divide and conquer the people.

    Because White privilege doesn't exist.

    White privilege? Yeah, feels really good to be the most qualified and not get that job because they need to hire a black person to meet affirmative actions quotas.

    "If white people are more privileged, how come they are more likely to commit suicide than most other races?"

    Privilege theory is nonsense, that's why.  We all have the same legal rights and there are no group privilege bestowed onto anyone at all by law.  We are systemically equal.  There are dispossessed and homeless White people, and there are rich and entitled blacks and minorities.  

    Furthermore, if we take the measurements for "white privilege" that the Left uses, we would conclude that Asians have more "white privilege" that white people do. They have more wealth on average that White people do.  They also have higher levels of education, interact with the police less often, and are incarcerated at lower rates than Whites are.  They are also killed by police much less than White people are.

    The Asian statistic alone kills the "white privilege" myth.  And if that doesn't do it, then there' s Nigerian privilege. Yes ... no kidding!

    Just gonna point out that white privilege and suicide rates don’t have anything to do with each other. Then again, I’m white, so I don’t really get an opinion in this matter, do I?

    The high suicide rate make the whole group of white people look cool and privileged compared to people from other races.

    There is East Asian privilege in East Asian countries like China. There is Arab privilege in Arab countries, Black privilege in Nigeria ,etc. White privilege implies that White majority countries should not exist. White people must be displaced.

    They aren't all "more privileged"

    "White privilege" is subtle. It means that all other things equal, non-whites have it just a little worse than white ones

    Scientifically/genetically, there are no real races of humans

    I would argue that the fact that they are more likely to commit suicide, can be seen as privileged in some ways.
