That said, you frame the context and define terms, and yet those same terms have implied meanings and relevance beyond that context. They are also suggestive of corrective measures based on social norms.
What amounts as an advantage depends on exactly how you define each individual instance and type of advantage, and perhaps more importantly, what you don't. Just like the earlier point someone made of equal pay vs lifetime earnings potential.
Once you drill down into specific sub-groups or individuals, things start to fly apart. But here's the thing. Even if I fall entirely within the scope of your definition, I still have my individual rights, and also personal 'properties' which grant protected status under the law (gender, national origin, etc). And even if you've narrowed the scope of your definition and I happen to fall within the range of 'privilege' it is no protection against pursuing my rights to life, liberty and happiness right into a horrible situation of my own devising, or protection against some random event or encounter or disability.
I don't recognize or accept labels that aren't clearly defined and qualified. "White Privilege" is a social narrative construct and intentionally left without clear, specific definitions of scope, because it is more useful that way to some who use the term to their advantage.
You make a fair point. And the label is dicey, at best. But in order to discuss it, I think you have to call it something. When I think of the issue, I mainly consider certain instances that affect others that have a much smaller chance of happening to me, like getting questioned by cops in my own driveway (as happened to Doug Glanville, a former major leaguer with the Phillies), or having a greater chance of being harassed. The closest thing I have to it is once when I was going on a walk around my neighborhood, dressed way down in some old sweats, I had a local cop pull up and ask me where I lived. I pointed to my house a block away and said, "Right there." Dude got all pissy and told me not to walk on the side of the road. My only recourse on that stretch of road -- a short, horribly maintained piece without a real shoulder, bounded by waist high grass, a piece I needed to cover before turning down a sidestreet that had a proper shoulder -- was to walk through the jungle for 100 feet. So, I asked the guy, "Am I supposed to walk in the weeds?" He just sneered and drove off. I don't know whether he considered pressing the issue more or not (which would've been interesting, because I was also less than a quarter mile from where I worked, so I could've pointed to the HS to identify that), but he drove off.
I still wonder sometimes what might have happened if I'd been someone else. Probably nothing. But I think that, if I had been someone else, maybe one of those minority kids I teach, whether the guy would've reacted differently. Maybe not. I can't say. But it made me think about it. More than I'd thought about it before. What I still take away from it is that I don't have to live with certain fears, as others might. Fears that don't even occur to me, but are a daily presence for others.
Again, can't say it fits all situations, but, even if we just have perception problems, then we need to attack the perceptions, try to get to a place where a company like GR doesn't feel like it has to open doors that already are (and I don't think they all are--yet).
I haven't done a great job of contributing directly to the central question of this thread, so I'll shut my trap on it, lest I get way off topic again. I think GR's idea is fine, and they're welcome to it. I hope some new and great talent is discovered that enhances the gaming culture in some way.
P.S. That horrible stretch of road, a real hazard that had busses running to it back and forth, every school day, was the main artery feeding the school with the low income students. I worked there 9 years. They JUST started working on it this year, and they're still not finished with it. Meanwhile, the high income school, with its nice, broad-laned road, also is getting an upgrade that it really doesn't need. Both schools use the same tax base. I don't know what took so long. I just know that, had the situation been reversed, the upscale crew would've pitched a shit fit, same as we did, and (tou bet your ass) it would've been taken care of a lot quicker.
