Oh I did also want to say that the reason why that study that you cited is crap is because their methodology is a bit um squidgy and the results have been used as proof of things beyond what the survey actually addressed. I can see why you, and a shit ton of other people, used it because on the surface there is nothing wrong with it, but once you start digging it is a bit disappointing.
Also if you are willing to really look into your privilege that is awesome, it can take a lot to really do that, you have to be able to look at yourself and your life in an honest way and open your eyes to things that can be pretty unpleasant.
Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack gives a pretty good rundown of that daily advantages of white privilege and
The Male Privilege Checklist points out a lot of the subtle ways that you benefit from being a dude every day. Neither is 100% comprehensive (no list really is) but give them a look, chances are even if you were trying to think of all of the ways being a white dude gives you an advantage there are many things on the lists that you wouldn't have thought of.
