Historically speaking, it wasn't as if minorities had the same opportunities as whites did in America considering the gap in education and segregation back when minorities weren't even people. Is it better now? Yes. Undeniably so. But the playing field isn't exactly even all the same. Privilege exists but it's not a catch-all excuse and recognizing that yes, some people do in fact have it easier isn't the end of the world as much as some people like to think it is.
