> As a white male you are the ..., healthiest, ... in modern society.

Not true, Asians are healthier than whites and females are healthier than males. White males have some privileges but they certainly don't have all of them.



When you say asians I think you are forgetting that the 'asian' group is mostly chinese people with really bad life expectancy. http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/china-life-expectancy


You need to compare within countries or it doesn't matter. Asians in the US lives a lot longer than whites in the US. Also if you want to find poor whites you just have to look at Russia where they live shorter than even China. Therefore we can conclude that being born in the US is a privilege in terms of life span, but being white is not.
