White men who face certain obstacles in life are better able to see white privilege — and that recognition could translate to support for policies to tackle racial inequities, new research says.

White men who say they’ve experienced social disadvantages in the workplace based on their socioeconomic status, disability, age, sexual orientation or religion are more likely than their white male counterparts who had not experienced such disadvantages to recognize white privilege, according to a new paper published in the journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.

Evidence for white privilege is everywhere. When 3 black men shoot a white jogger/burglar in a struggle over a gun, they are convicted and given life sentences. But when a white man drives an SUV into a crowd, killing 6 and injuring 40 blacks, the media ignore it and he'll probably get a much lighter sentence than those 3 blacks. When a black cop kills a violent white criminal by mistaking her gun for her taser, she gets sentenced to 2 years in prison, and whites howl that she got too light a sentence. When a white capitol police officer kills a black non-violent protester, he gets off without being charged.

At least, if the above were true, that would be ample evidence of white privilege. But the races are reversed. Since the exact reverse of the above is true, what is it evidence of?
