I don't think anyone (except maybe a few idiots) is saying they have white privilege... yet. Even the subject title here says the claim is that they're gaining it. I think the claims are that this has happened before with other ethnic groups that were once considered "separate" and are now plainly "white," and the same pattern is emerging in the changing treatment of certain Asian groups.

Ah. That makes more sense. I guess I'm personally still unsure about the likelihood of that. A big part of that is just that racism is so strongly based on outward appearance, and I can't help but feel that it was easy to incorporate other "non-white" races into the category of "white" was because, well, they already were white (as in, of European descent). While definitely Asian-Americans are gaining privilege in comparison to other POC's, it's still...not comparable to the assimilation of various European ethnic minorities into the white majority.

Then again, I also recently dealt with someone who insisted Irish-Americans were still a minority facing discrimination in America, and I just...I don't even know what to do with that.
