"This is widely believed by members of my demographic (50 years of age + white men)."

How do you know that? Do you have data that shows that, or is is just the N of the people you know?

So what is your point? So, OK, I acknowledge I have had privileges. Now what do I do? Should I ask a store manager to follow me around while I shop? Should I demand that a cop who pulls me over drag me out of the car and harass me? That part is sadly missing from this story.
