You're playing a game close to what mathematicians refer to as "general abstract nonsense". You're abstracting away key details because it makes you feel sophisticated. The key fact that I have pointed out is that this "white privilege" narrative has been relentlessly promoted by MSM and Hollywood for the past few years. It has infected the brains of otherwise normal people, and it is causing damage to relationships and reduction in productivity.
I'm not playing any game. You're being overly particular to avoid the real issue, which is that there are a lot of podunk mayors so some of them will inevitably say weird stuff. "White privilege" isn't a "narrative" as much as a simple, obvious observation. And otherwise normal people who feel emotionally scarred by it are more to blame for the damage to relationships and productivity (frankly, I think that is a crazy claim, but I'll grant it for the sake of argument) than the observation. "I can't work because someone somewhere observed that I have certain advantages over others" isn't reasonable, IMO.
