PHIL how is it white privilege to understand irony and context? Also the Holocaust killed millions of 'white' people and slavery has historically been foisted upon people of all races and creed worldwide, and is still ongoing today in some places -slavery is colour blind, ask the Ottomans. The fact that Britain (white anglo) and by extension British North America was one of the first places to ban the slave trade in law should be noted when discussing privilege. Canada is not the USA, or Spanish South America. We have our own bigoted history but a massive heinous import of (12million+) slaves to work on our shores from Africa is not one of them. 

So careful when you throw around the term white privilege.
