A good example of the confusion caused by the term. White privilege accorded to one person is the product of the bias of another person who made the decision. The recipient is blameless, and the decider is probably unaware of the bias -- studies like the John/Jamal resumé show that the bias exists despite deciders' honest belief that it does not. As for deciding not to vote for a woman (or not choosing a black person for a job), any one example does not prove bias, and many or most hiring decisions are free of bias. The proof of bias is that deciders in these tests select more whites, or men, than would be the case if they looked solely at qualifications.  Tests consistently show that deciders have a statistically valid tendency to select whites over equally qualified blacks; that result is not open to debate.
