It's divisive because many people internalize it and take it as an affront to their individual identity when it's meant to define groups as a whole. As in, a white person saying "I grew up poor but worked hard to get where I am so don't call me privileged". That statement is true to a point. But being white comes with a degree of privilege that many don't want to admit.

As has been stated above, there are a large set of complex factors that affect our lives with race being at, or near, the top of the list. You can find anecdotal evidence to try to disprove race as a major factor but when you pull back and view it on a larger scale the evidence is irrefutable.

So does being born in a wealthy country. Even the disadvantaged here are doing well compared to the world population.

The extent that we address this inequality is usually just a simple acknowledgement on Thanksgiving or some other national holiday. It isn't a constant pervasive request for atonement, or something that TikTokers and HR departments demand we keep in mind during every human interaction (addressing your unconscious biases).

The funniest part of the "privilege" movement in my opinion is that it predominantly takes place at universities attended by the 1 percenters of privilege.
