Thank you for the thoughtful response.
I have asked this question before and have only gotten argumentative responses.
I view it as a mistake to label people not being discriminated against as privileged. Privileged indicates, as the definition states, something unearned. We have not all received what we have earned. Those who haven't received what they earned because of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, etc. have, by the definition of discrimination, been discriminated against.
Discrimination can be, has been, battled. Privilege can't be had by all.
