Which have been around for many years.
Funny how the majority of managers, college students, and government officials are still white. Do you think that's because people who aren't white are just not as competent, even with all those advantages, or because there's somehow still discrimination that manages to get around those programs?

"Male"? Oh right. You mean the 'privilege' of being told you're not hireable because the company can't get the tax breaks they can by hiring a *female*, *lesbian*, *Wiccan*. "Able-bodied"? Now *here* I *SHOULD* shine, being disabled. Guess what? No one wants to make 'reasonable accomodations' for me! Looks like I won't be working for Yet Another Year!

So you really believe if you were an African-American woman with your disabilities, you'd have an *easier* time getting a job, and get *better* treatment in public?

Tell me again about all those benefits I have because I'm white, male and Christian?

How about
:
Not being followed around in stores by security guards,
Not being groped by random strangers on public transit,
Not being accused of terrorism, baby-killing or demon worship for wearing your religious symbols in public.
In a vague attempt to drag the subject back to something resembling books:
Many publishers will only deal with
books about non-white characters, non-white cultures, as "special, ethnic" subgenres.
