This is a pretty good analogy except for one thing: simply being born white isn't, in and of itself, a major Advantage.... just a Feature, mostly.
FAR bigger advantages are not necessarily race-dependent... that is, your birth race isn't itself a determining factor in whether you are:
- born into prosperity or wealth
- born into a family that values and encourages education
- born in an area where substance abuse, crime and gangs are uncommon.
- grow up where the schools are good.
Seriously... visit a few trailer parks. Lotta poor white people; lotta substance abuse and petty crime.
Visit some nice subdivisions: lots of black folks there these days. Some new subdiv's I worked last year had upscale houses well beyond anything I could afford and were at least 50% black families.
At the local state university I saw more black female students than any other demographic. Locally black folks are about 25-30% of the general population, at the college they were more like 50-60%.
Seems to me that here in the heart of Dixie, as many black folks are doing well for themselves as white folks.
Mexicans not so much; the language barrier is a problem, but there are plenty of classes for them to improve their English and in their neighborhoods I see businesses specializing in helping them in various ways.
As for being gay, trans, etc.... well a white male can get fired from his good job for saying a single ill-considered sentence that might be construed as disparaging same so pardon me if I don't feel much advantaged. You can bash white males all day long and get away with it, but heaven help you if you forget that Bob is now Roberta and say "he" instead of "she".... be lucky if they just send you to Sensitivity Boot Camp instead of firing your ass.
So I'mma say no, whiteness in and of itself isn't much of an advantage.
