I would never have made it out of my 20s without getting arrested if I were black. I can think of a couple times where my whiteness got me out of a situation without handcuffs.

Not being of other Asian descent

Privilege is believing something isn't a problem because it isn't a problem for you.

Forgive me but that is an awful definition of "privilege".

a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.

Much better.

That being said...foreign diplomats (or our own in other countries) and diplomatic immunity.
