Isn't white privilege based solely on what you look like?

[Daco Celtic]

That's what I was saying in my replies. That "Whiteness" studies conflates race with social status. People literally think that people like the Irish were viewed as non-white racially which shows how gullible people are. Like they think that people a few centuries ago couldn't tell the difference between someone who was Irish and someone who was African or tell a Chinese person from an Italian. Being white racially doesn't mean you didn't suffer discrimination you have to be "non-white" to be discriminated against according to these history revisionists.

One of these days Irish will be seen as white in America. Someday we will be free.

There's no benefit anymore to be perceived as white, you might as well try to be seen as black, that would afford you more privileges.
