Yes, it's often about degrees of privilege. Economic privilege can isolate you from racial discrimination even if you are of a racial minority; conversely, being poor but white will expose you to economic discrimination but still provide racial privilege. Add in other spectra like gender, sexuality, religion, etc and the complexity of human experience opens up broadly.

It's not all what I would personally call privilege: it's what your parents are like, it's what community you happen to be born in, it's how sizable your ethnic group is in your community, it's how academically inclined you may happen to be, etc etc. Of course these would have been traditionally considered "privileges" (a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group).

But that said, I think I'm picking nits and mostly we are in agreement.
