>Personally if it were up to me, I would exclude poor working class whites from any notion of privilege as they clearly aren’t.

When the world's wealth was stolen and concentrated in a few locations on the planet, the majority of the people living in those locations were/are white and one of the primary barriers to earning a piece of that wealth was and still is race. What we see today is less explicit than racial laws but things like immigration restrictions have the same effect.

I think the 'white privilege' label is appropriate, anecdata doesn't change the larger historical observation.
