Jason -- I think it's reasonable to say that all White people benefit from white privilege (to one degree or another). What I challenge is the assertion that all White men/boys have the SAME MAGNITUDE of white male privilege vis-a-vis one another: this is ridiculous for anybody to claim, because it's discounting literally every other variable of intersectionality across the board.

Also, I'm wondering if some of your references would be to colorism rather than to racism? Racism claims that people are superior/subordinate based on a handful of main racial categories that humans have constructed. Colorism refers to privilege/mistreatment based on varying skin tones EVEN WITHIN the same racial/ethnic categories. (e.g. the variations between lighter-skinned and darker-skinned Desi people)
