What gets me is the privileged now supposedly contains those of eastern and southern European decent. Wasn't all that long ago when my people didn't consider them to be fully white either. Heck, wasn't that long ago when my people didn't think Catholics should be full citizens. For the Hispanics who think they're also privileged or "in the club", no, you're most definitely not. Nor will you ever be in their club.
