Ok, so my boring take on this: I think the word privilege is overused. In my mind there is a basic level of human decency everyone should be treated with. If you are treated above and beyond that, you have some privilege. Situations like the one mentioned in this post (to my mind) don’t speak to a lack of privilege, but to the presence of oppression.
I’ve often joked that Jesus didn’t redeem humans in the eyes of God, he redeemed the Hebrew god in the eyes of western culture.
