That’s neither exclusive nor specifically for being white, lots of people of other skin colors don’t have to worry about that, and aren’t impacted by it. I have never heard anyone talk about yellow or white privilege for Japanese.
I’m not denying white privilege exists, but the fact that I don’t mind a T-shirt saying Caucasian, is not a symptom of that IMO.
If I was a fan of Indian culture, and had a shirt with the name of a tribe, please explain why that would be offensive to an Indian?
Maybe then I can understand the point some people here are trying to make.
Edit:
I guess this could be related to some sports using Indian imagery, that is completely out of context, and could be perceived as cultural appropriation I guess. They are playing under a “false” banner. But we don’t have that or anything similar in Europe AFAIK.
It’s exclusively white in America. I’m sure there are other countries with other systems. I don’t live in those so I don’t know their history and systems.
If you’re not talking about America, in a thread about a topic about Native Americans and their symbolism, then I admit I have no idea what you’re going on about.
White privilege is the privilege of never having to think about your race or be impacted by it. You literally just defined it.
The shirt points that out. You have no problem with it.

Not everything is about USA, “We” meaning white Americans is a pretty big dose of being self centered.
