I am a public school teacher, we go through continuous diversity training, because at this point in history, in extremely racially and ethnically diverse student bodies, the teachers are still predominately white.

The focus this year in our diversity studies is white privilege. I've known about it and understood the theory for years.

The idea that white privilege doesn't exist is simply absurd. If you believe that, you don't understand it.
