I've heard lots of people here say that white privilege still exists but honestly I can't agree. I don't really feel privileged being white in America. For example some minorities can get government-given scholarships and social benefits for being a certain race, I can't.

It's still there but I suppose some people are ignorant towards it and others just don't benefit as much as others from it.

Affirmative action is a touchy subject but I'll say it hurts certain minorities too. I've heard people claiming it actually benefits white females (since females are supposedly a minority) the most but I'm not sure how much truth there is to that.
