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.

And neither do you cause you're talking out of your arse again. You're whole argument is based on the hypothetical.
Hey I don't' know how many times I've passed on a winning lottery ticket either. I guess I'm owned a million dollars.

And neither do you.
That's the problem with this notion. It's based on intangibles, assumptions (unfounded ones at that) and emotion.

And the vice versa is true for the minority (i.e. "You have no idea if that cop would have passed on by if you were white, you have no idea if that no would've been a yes if you were white, etc. etc.")
Again, how do blacks have this perception yet white's can not?
Edit: what upgrayedd said.
