Many white men are just nepo babies with privileged background though... i never hear people shilling your points discuss this little fact.

Entire argument is premised on the assumption that white man is naturally qualified and deserving of the role, while the undesirables are less qualified and only getting ahead due to their status.

Incompetent white men fail up all the time, I never hear people fielding the talking points you made here get their panties bunched over it.

And I am not even disagreeing with the core premises and I am not sure if you actually shilling in bad faith but these arguments are used in bad faith by some elements.

Another example is admissions into elite schools.... when black kid gets in, with lesser score these types are having meltdown over how "this n****r taking spots from deserving whites, rheee" but the same person never question legacy admissions.
