Im not defending the use of it as a crutch, but to deny that there arent inherent, largely unseen advantages to being born white in this country is just, well...an ignorance of reality.
No, it's not buying into your bullshite delusion of reality. I've never gotten any privilege or advantage from being white.

The problem is you are looking for a scenario in your life where someone walked up to you and said "Oh hey, youre white, here you go".
You have no idea how many times a cop has passed you and ignored you in a situation he would not have ignored a minority, you have no idea how many yeses you've gotten that would have been no's had you been a minority, you have no idea how many times the lack of a stereotype being applied to you opened doors, etc.
