Look, nothing happens in a vacuum. The moires of society are always at play no matter what culture we're speaking about.
And almost across the board, white men have the advantage in every area. Period. That is simply economic fact.
The fact the income inequality favors white men, it gives them the ability to spend more of their time where they _want_ not where they _need_.
If you're hot takes about privilege ignore this fact, you're full of shit.
