Doesn't work like that, privilege is what you are given through no action of your own, doesn't matter what norms you do or don't have.

Akima:
Perhaps not, but GM's musing is a pretty good explanation of why people are typically not aware of their privilege, because they have internalised racist, sexist, classist etc. norms. It is the old story of why a fish is not aware of water.

cesium133:
TV ads now seem to fall exclusively in two categories:

2) Sad-looking children want your money.

osaka:
Damn, you're ages ahead of Spain. We don't have kitties that want our money.
