Why do liberals claim whites are privileged... but then ignore that Indians, Asians and Jews earn more money and are killed by police less?

    Privilege isn't always about the amount of money you have.  Who is most likely to be "carded" by the police: a white person or a person of colour?  When the police are called who is assumed to be the guilty party: a white person or a person of colour?  A person is  wearing a hoodie and walking down the street.  Who is more likely to be stopped by the police: a white person or a person of colour?  That is what is meant by "white privilege".
