So, the white male is the beneficiary of discrimination performed by a discriminator. The beneficiary is not the discriminator.
If someone does not like that such discrimination occurs, the person to approach, the person to accuse, is the one doing the discriminating, not the beneficiary of the discrimination.
But, to accuse the correct party would require facts in order to effect change, and to the accusers this sounds like work, and the whole thing could get legal, which makes the accusation less accessible to your rank-and-file street-level big-mouth SJW. It's much easier for them to do as the female mind thinks, and shoot their mouth off anywhere it gains traction, logic be damned, and blame an entire group of people. Who cares how unfair this is because it allows all sorts of people to participate in the accusation and feel good about it.
If it shuts people up, I offer that it's not because we do not sense something is inherently wrong with the accusation but that we have no articulation for what we may sense.
Next time someone accuses white male privilege, don't argue whether it actually exists, instead tell them to stop blaming the victim. Tell them that all recipients of discrimination are victims. Remind the accuser of their flawed course of action with what they think. If need be, create a vocabulary to assist their thinking, of positive victims of discrimination and negative victims of discrimination.
Tell them if they blame white people or white males just because they believe these people have the same skin color as the discriminators, then they are practicing racism, for that is what that is.
Tell them to quit being stupid and to take their lazy racism somewhere else.
