The comment of "white male privilege" is now seen by some as racist and sexist.
Do you agree ? Why or Why not?

During the presentation, an officer who spent 28 years with the department questioned a statistic presented at the conference, that members of the transgender community are 3.32 times more likely to be the victim of police violence than non-transgender people, according to WRTV. The statistic comes from the 2012 annual report from the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, which describes itself as an advocacy group for ”local LGBTQ communities."
”My wife has never been part of police violence," he said. ”Most of the people that I know have never been, accused the police of violence. So I guess I don't get where that statistic comes from."
”‘Cause your white male privilege, so you wouldn't know" said a woman's voice. The woman was identified as Weber
”I was racially and sexistly slurred by Captain Carri Weber while I was asking a question of the instructor in training," the officer wrote in the complaint. ”I am now firmly aware of the discriminatory belief she just verbally communicated.
... There is no place in the Plainfield Police administration or supervision for someone who holds and espouses her discriminatory views."
Weber was placed on administrative leave on Nov. 16.
