Speaking of luggage, my white male profile got me targeted for bomb residue inspection at the airport. Do I bitch about it? Ofc not, because I'm not an idiot.

I have many dozens of instances where my whiteness and maleness has been used against me. And I have many multiples of that of seeing non-whiteness and non-maleness benefiting others.

You seriously think that happens more to you than to colored people, nowadays specifically to arabs?

I would say they actively pick out white people purely for the benefit of balance.

To be fair this may be a policy in some areas. Do you think there's more areas where this policy is enforced than not?

I have no idea.

I doubt it. Young white men are high on the domestic terrorism profile. In America, they used to be the #1 risk (I think), but no longer are yet are still a risk.

I'd bet that's more down to them being young than to them being white.

So I guess that makes me age privileged as well?

I didn't make the point relative to how others experience it. Some profiles, like young white men and young arab men, are profiled the way I was (and rightly so).

If we want to get anecdotal, I've flown a few hundred times internationally to over 50 countries, been stopped by drug dogs and never had my cavities searched. I know people with a different shade of skin who can't fly domestic without someone wanting to put on rubber gloves.

And? I'm not thinking in terms of victim hierarchy.

Also, I trust your anecdote on this, but I do know from quite a bit of experience that there is a HUGE problem in America of non-whites believing they are subject to racism when they actually are not. Think of the worst you can and it's much, much worse than that. It's so bad that the vast majority of accusations of racism are nothing of the sort.
