I'm neither defining nor forming an idea of what white privilege is or is not. I'm describing how that idea has been used by those who believe it to be true. It's an idea that pathologizes the behavior of a particular demographic group by categorically putting members of that group on the couch without any consideration for the diversity of behavior or beliefs among those within that group. It's more commonly known as stereotyping.
