    White Privilege - for and against

    I've heard of the arguments FOR White Privilege. Mine is the trailer park white trash guy looking at Barack Obama on the telly, running the country and being driven around in limousines attending posh dinners. More of a statement than argument. What are the arguments AGAINST White Privilege?

    I was listening to the radio in my car yesterday, and there are a number of people in the USA claiming the new iPhone is sexist, because it is too big for female hands. What do you think, is the new iPhone sexist?
