A working understanding of the kind of majority privilege that dude is talking about would end 90% of the unintentional racism, sexism & classism, that I see in my everyday life. It's depressing how many people believe they're not part of the problem because they believe in the principle of equality but, like the white guy in that clip, just plain don't get it. In fact, it's the very fact they think prejudice has nothing to do with them that provides them with their most insidious indulgences of it.
