These are the times I wish we had a life simulator because I think people would really start to understand just how many advantages they have and the ways they contribute.
It's like how everyone says they would be anti-slavery if they grew up before the civil war despite the numbers just not supporting that. If I took away your advantages and made you do your life over you probably aren't going to break the mold and will end up roughly where everyone else of similar life circumstance ends up. What special spark could you even have? Because hard working and smart people are born in all walks of life but that only takes you to a local maximum.
You start having to consider that maybe white people are actually the superior race if you truly believe that it's not privileges because how else do you explain the vastly uneven distribution of success in the US?
