You can be an eastern European, poor as hell, and still be called "privileged" by a well-off black person in America.

Unfortunately, Americans are generally stuck in a strange bubble, and often have little knowledge of the rest of the world. They take their own history and project it onto the rest of the world, making the absurd conclusion that every white person is privileged. When they talk about “slavery”, the only thing that comes into their mind is white on black slavery in America. Despite the fact that slavery happened all over the world, across multiple cultures for most of human history.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least 50% of Americans couldn't even find Poland on a map, let alone know anything about its history.
