Educated? Middle Class?
I have certainly pulled the wool over your eyes.
That was a bit flippant but yes, of course I recognise privilege. I do think you're being a little harsh on Greenhell though, he was just trying to look out for the guy a bit.
Sometimes, it's difficult getting it right all the time and people do slip up or use the wrong terminology or are clumsy in their wording etc. I had to leave a party in disgrace not so long ago because I'd dared to gender a cat.... Apparently, it's not up to me to decide.

It's fucking awesome being an educated, middle class white man.
(As long as you recognise that it ain't so awesome for those that aren't.)
As it turns out, the existence of educated white middle class men is awesome for people who are not any of those things. Obviously quite a lot of them are cunts, but I'm not even sure that cunts are disproportionately represented in their number relative to other groupings. I'm sure it's only an accident of history that white men got to be educated and middle class first, but it was that chain of events in human progress (basically the reformation, the enlightenment and the industrial revolution) which opened the floodgates for everybody else, regardless of gender or colour.
I checked my privilege.
I was relieved to find it was indeed excellent.
