because the people who looks at their privilege, despite the discomfort it initially brings, shows a willingness to reach out to people that are different from them. That is a very honorable quality, especially in the face of criticism.

I find it very strange how some people are so scared of the word privilege. Glad that you can see the way it's used, how it's intended to be read.
