Some contrarian advice for job candidates: don't try to improve your interview technique. If you're genuinely a good candidate, it shouldn't be in your interests to be hired by a company that would be easily fooled by anything so superficial as "good interview technique".

That's not to say racists don't exist. But the term "white privilege" makes it sound like they're everywhere and the system is run by them, and that's not true. Overstating a problem usually makes it harder to solve.
"White privilege" is certainly an easy card to reach for (and has a further effect of antagonising the person is applied to, because they have no defense). But that doesn't mean it's a lie.

Right, so it depends how you interpret the phrase, I'm arguing against what I think is the common meaning associated with it but if you interpret it less broadly then sure
