    I think my point is perhaps more around semantics than politics.

    Privilege as a word suggests one group has something they don’t deserve. Whereas the problem I see is that the other group doesn’t have what they deserve.

    I’m aware this could trend dangerous close to that “all lives matter” nonsense which tried to deny the inequality and inequity of life, this is not my point at all.

    My point only works if we’re in agreement that the “thing” we’re talking about is basic human rights, respect and dignity. If that changes then the conversation changes with it.
