The system in which a white teacher is more likely to view a black student as a threat, while identifying with the white student, and result in harsher punishments for the same kinds of misbehavior.
That's one example. It is not a 100% occurrence. There are too many other factors at work that means that it's practically impossible to quantify. But it exists, like the other prejudices in our world.
Many black students (not all, maybe not even most) use the race card as an excuse for being disruptive in class.The system in which a white teacher is more likely to view a black student as a threat, while identifying with the white student, and result in harsher punishments for the same kinds of misbehavior.

So a black teacher who is more likely to view a white student as a threat, while identifying with the black student, is black privilege?

What if it's a black teacher, I've seen them favor black students, is that because of slavery or is that white privileged too?

Isn't the concept of "White Privilege" a form of racial profiling?
Yes they do. But even if you are right that they don't, the effect is the same even if it's after the fact.Many black students (not all, maybe not even most) use the race card as an excuse for being disruptive in class.The system in which a white teacher is more likely to view a black student as a threat, while identifying with the white student, and result in harsher punishments for the same kinds of misbehavior.

Kids don't think that far ahead. They might accuse racism to mitigate punishment after the fact.

That does not mean that they don't get more leeway. Many blacks see doing well in school as being too white, and being disruptive as being cool. It's a cultural thing. Also add the fact that blacks are more likely to be in single parent homes or in foster care due to parents being in prison. It just may be that a higher percentage of blacks do things that get them expelled than whites. Don't get me wrong, there are many wonderful black kids, and there are also many rotten white kids, but there are stastitical differences in the groups.And since teachers don't want to be labeled as racist, this black student gets a little more leeway.Many black students (not all, maybe not even most) use the race card as an excuse for being disruptive in class.The system in which a white teacher is more likely to view a black student as a threat, while identifying with the white student, and result in harsher punishments for the same kinds of misbehavior.

Only they don't get more leeway. It has been quantified that black students get suspended and expelled more often than white students.
I recognize that many types of privilege exist. In other words, life ain't fair. The ugly fat kid probably will not get treated as well as the attractive kid regardless of their colors. Sometimes the athlete gets better treatment because we've got to win that state championship.Yes they do.

So do you also accept that white privilege in the classroom exists, and that sometimes the accusation of racism is justified, when white students get less or no punishment for the same misbehavior that gets black students harsher punishment?
Furthermore, if students think so far ahead, do you think that white students figure in their white privilege when planning what they can get away with?

Lots of things happen "sometimes".

So you admit that white privilege exists. As well as pretty privilege, thin privilege, etc.
Of course it can't be "fixed." But it can be recognized for what it is.
