If you're using race as a proxy for wealth (e.g., black ppl tend to be poorer and the poverty is a disadvantage), then you should just use wealth, not race.

The problem I have with the "white privilege" narrative is that it's usually treated as if it trumps all other privileges. That just doesn't hold up.

Until these same people are put on the defence. Then it becomes "What I really mean is that white people have an advantage in otherwise identical situations." It's motte and bailey.

Clubhouse is particularly skewed this way, in what I've seen so far.

I will never understand this trend of demonizing wealth and success.

Your wealth is a form of privilege, as well as race, sexuality, religion, gender and others. Even though race is a common example, the others should never be irrelevant. Sorry you found that to be the case.

every single conversation i would have with someone about privilege we did(n't) have, the only "one ups" i had on them was being ,white, male, and straight. every other aspect they had more privilege than me, every single time. but because i was white, it didn't matter.

This might be making the opposite point you're intending? I'm assuming this clubhouse situation isn't just open to any SWer, so your peers aren't a representative sample of all SWers. It sounds like you made it to a place that only advantaged black SWers made it to.
