How has use of the term "white privilege" harmed you?

109. It hasn't "harmed" me, as an individual, no.....but liberals as a whole, I'm afraid, haven't been...

helped all that much.....

Honestly, one of the main flaws with the term itself is that it kinda does come across as saying that "whiteness", as if it were somehow above the "norm", as it were, something special. Here in the U.S., however, it's the opposite: "whiteness" is the supposed "norm", as it were(please note the quotation marks), even though many of us are unhappy with it(myself included, btw); rather, it's People of Color(I assume this term is OK by DU standards) who are disadvantaged compared to "white" folks. While I fully realize that the original creators of the term meant this to be an autoantonym of a sort(that is, a word that means the opposite of what it sounds), it has, unfortunately been misunderstood, and even abused by some less scrupulous and/or less learned individuals out there.

So while it has overall, helped stimulate discussion, this particular term has not always been helpful and perhaps *should* be ditched for something that the general public is better able to comprehend.....just my 2 cents, take it or leave it.
