Suppose I belong to an advantaged group, what good does it do to me if I admit the advantage exists? Why would I ever want to give up this advantage?

Income inequality didn't prevent a rising standard of living for everyone, what makes social inequality inherently bad?

Again, these are questions about your ethical framework that are not answerable by me. Personally I find it detestable and anti-social to try to hoard unearned advantages based on race and gender. If you were my friend and admitted this to me face to face, I would have to seriously consider our relationship. But you aren't my friend, and if you're OK with it there's little I could possibly say to convince you otherwise, especially on the internet.

Hoarding these advantages may make life better for everyone.

Ew. What a gross thought. I guess it's convenient to believe for a privileged person, but, ew.

Rich privilege should also really be a thing, people like Bill Gates never used his privilege to make the world a better place.
