It's easy. Fail upwards until you hit a nice ~100K/yr job in corporate America where you don't really have to do anything aside from maybe a few days a month and coast from there. If your parents are rich or you have good connections, you could get a lot more than that just as easy! If you grew up super poor (like, trailer park), try to focus on marrying in such a way that you can effectively fail into a reasonably well-paying white collar gig. You'll have to put up with some pretty crippling student loans but on the other side of it you'll still be doing pretty well. The blue collar route is dying out but being a cop is a good call for maximizing white privilege and pretty easy to do given your whiteness. I have a black carpenter buddy who says the carpenter's union is also hella racist, but I imagine that varies from city-to-city. Find which local unions are the most racist and go for that line of work.

I recommend a big comfortable car with a v8, op. Add a dog and Gf who does p90x if you like. Perhaps a grill and a shade tree in your yard?

I can speak Spanish. Maybe I can capitalize on both white and URM privileges. Is double-dipping okay?

IMO you can't properly experience white privilege in white-majority locations.

I am Jewish, so not technically white (although an Oppressor nonetheless, because, like, Palestine!), but can often Pass for white. The suburbs of Milwaukee are a great place, its all pearly white, and still mostly protestant.

I require a Trader Joe's, at least 0.33 organic vegan restaurants serving craft beer per block, and a certain critical mass of 30-somethings on longboards in the neighborhood. Does this happen in the Milwaukee 'burbs?

Check your 5th edition rulebook. Whites get a higher starting saving throw versus law enforcement PLUS a bonus for income.

This statement proves that you have no hope of maximizing white privilege unless you can somehow bring back segregated whites only cars. The correct answer is to have a car service pick you up and have it escorted by police to cause all other people to wait while you pass. This can be your step one on the road to your goal.

When I found a huge buckhead apartment that only was asking for $600/month I was like "What the gently caress, how does DC & NYC get away with this poo poo." Then I remembered that they're better cities. Downside to cheaper everything is that Georgia has notoriously awful labor laws and its whole economy is pretty much stratified between slurping on corporate cock while making GBS threads out low-wage service sector jobs, so it's not like most people have money to spend poo poo on! gently caress, minimum wage in that shitheap of a state is $5.15!

The Bad Thing about DC is that there's large-scale opposition to gentrification (read: exercise of white privilege) of neighborhoods like Petworth and the H Street corridor. How the gently caress am I supposed to outfit my renovated row house with a Sodastream and other implements of oppression if I have to worry about that poo poo?

It's the black middle class that's moving to PG County, not poors. Poors live across the river in Anacostia. That's more NIMBYism than white privilege. I guess NIMBYism is a kind of privilege - non-poor privilege - but not white privilege, which is what I want to maximize.
