I am deeply cognizant about "Privilege" and how it shape one's trajectory in life as compared to others. I also make it a point to raise awareness about this aspect in any and every network possible. If we accept the benfits of "Privilege", we can be sensitive about it and work towards ensuring that less privileged folks have a better shot at life. Life is unfair, let's take a fair shot at it.
