    Privilege is generally fairly invisible to the people who have it.

    I agree and understand that.

    Denmark who has a whopping 159 countries that allow them free transit

    I’m sure for instance Singapore and Japan enjoy mostly similar benefits.
    It has nothing to do with being white. Ergo it is not a white privilege. The same goes for for instance Americans, the number of countries they can visit is not tied to their skin color. Despite that, there is no doubt all white Americans enjoy some degree of white privilege, that does not mean the same goes for all other countries.

      Wow, that’s one hell of a cherry pick that left 90% of what I said on the table. One might also note that I mentioned “colonized by a European nation” and picking the two Asian nations that still host UK and US military bases and are maintaining democratic systems directly implemented by those occupying powers which continue as primary economic bedfellows isn’t exactly disproving my point.

      If you’re going to be lazy then why bother replying?
