Kind of ironic this happened...

How would you describe missing the point entirely and then going off on one about what he thought it was

It was intentionally pointed out as an example of "reverse racism" - just like affirmative action.

Since you missed the point your example has nothing to do with it.
You are attempting to show that your skin colour does not give you an automatic advantage, a magical advantage as it were.
Take the example of automatic discriminatory behaviour exhibited in the example and apply it to the workplace, use it again in regards to commonly heard and held stereotypes about blacks or Hispanics.
The white prilivige is undeniable, your points about discrimination against whites and women is irrelevant, because although two wrongs don't make a right your claim is that the white privilege doesn't exist.

Yes, it is. The fact that in your opinion he missed the point entirely deserves correction, explanation and proof that you are right. What you gave was mockery, and nothing else. that's insult, and we don't do that here.

Not for long, anyway.

Oh yes we do. All day every day. Taking the piss out of each other is a time honoured tradition here.
