Here's my advice: Stop worrying about your privilege and live your life, continuing to be respectful and kind to every human being you meet

There is no action you can take that can remove or make up for your perceived privilege.

The entire privilege game is flawed from the very start. Because every single human being has a giant list of privileges and handicaps.

Many of these handicaps are far more impactful than your race, eg. Being prone to mental illness, being born physically unattractive, being born to abusive parents.

There are millions of white people out there who tick all of the boxes above and are still told to "check their privilege". Does that make sense to you?

Forget identity politics entirely, because it never made any sense from the start.

Worry about the systemic racism that exists in America, support the movement, but don't feel forced to feel guilty for something you have nothing to do with.

Have you even personally ever been racist to a black person? No? Then nobody can expect anything more from you than that.
