I think it's really great that this thought occurred to you. Have you ever heard of the concept of the invisible knapsack of privilege? It's a concept designed not to critique but rather explain one's inability to see one's own privilege. You recognize yours, which makes you more socially conscious than others who might not. Thanks for your contribution to the discussion; I'll check out those links when I'm not at work. :)
Wow, thanks for that link! Some of those are really insidious, and until now I was not aware of them, like

my race.
