Saying billionaires are privileged is rude when you're saying it to a billionaire dying of eye cancer. I don't think that implies much about anything. White people aren't the only class that is privileged in the US, and you can be a member of other classes that more than offset being white. Like 65% of Americans are white. It offers opportunities over the median black person (or native, or hispanic etc.), not the median person, who is also white.
