The problem with the Privilege position is that economic Privilege is a very significant type of Privilege. So if you have an educated, well paid Women or Person of Colour arguing that a poor rural religious person in Mississippi needs to check their privilege it breaks down.
In alike socio-economic groups white and male privilege certainly makes it easier to succeed and advance upward. However if a person is asking “white people” in general to check their privilege they also need to ask themselves if they have checked their socio-economic privilege.
