I said fuck off mate, stand by it though based on what you wrote. All of what you said is awful and no one should have to go through it, but you're basically misunderstanding the phrase, your Mexican-American not friend was too really.You, and I, are not outright privileged because we're white, but we don't have to deal with certain race based things on top of whatever else we have to deal with, which is a privilege. Assuming you're a bloke too you won't have to deal with certain sex based issues on top of everything else, which is male privilege in the same way, it doesn't mean that you also don't have stuff to deal with, possibly things that people of colour or women or whoever don't have to, which is a part of their privilege.
