What do people who deny white privilege exists say to this?
Flawed question is flawed.

Don't worry, you can't be racist against whites, because they have the power! (Yeah, that's me rolling my eyes.)
The internet needs actual [sarcasm] tags.

Though on the thread, it should be called "majority privilege", as that's what it is; it's nothing to do with actual skin color unless you make it so (which is racism. Heh). It's where you'd have "Japanese privilege" living in Japan as a South Korean.
Exactly so. And that 'privilege' is nebulous when you start to consider people as individuals rather than a homogenised mass of like-minded clones.

People are often so racist [and sexist], yet they don't even know they are.
Quite so. Take this dingbat for instance:

Quote:
racism
Pronunciation: /ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
Definition of racism in English:
noun
1Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior
1.1The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races
Notice how neither definition contains the phrase "unless the target is white"?
Those who like to use the phrase "white privilege" should pay special attention to 1.1.
