And I didn't say that they did. I'm just saying that proclaiming that you're white and male doesn't give me any information that would lead me to assume that you are marginalized. That doesn't mean you can't be in some capacity or that you must be privileged, it just means that people who look like that typically are less marginalized than people who are, say, Black or Hispanic.
There's a broad spectrum of marginalizations that exist, such as disability or economic - you can be marginalized as a disabled white guy! That's absolutely true! But when speaking purely about race or ethnicity, it's helpful to realize that people of color broadly experience far more racism.

What’s stranger is you assume every person from other categories is marginalized by default if they claim it. It’s time to stop generalizing and stomp out hate in the individual cases it can be found.

I didn’t say I assume it by default. I just said statistically it’s more likely

This is true, but it is definitely being misused and claiming you are fighting odds and systemic racism is often borderline victim mentality.

So you've been followed around a department store by security because of the way you look?
Are we living in the past now, or what is your point? Not all white "moderate" (whatever that means) live privilieged lives
