It's really contradictory.

I'm curious if there's any kind of /his/ pastebin or some other consolidation of info about "white privilege" and other SJW material. I'd love to be able to explain historical facts/context better.

Irish were considered degenerate not because they were Irish but because there was rampant hordes of them moving into an already xenophobic America

What are you on about about lad? They were discriminated against in the old country as well.

Didn't that start as a religious thing

Irish, Italians or Slavs were never considered non white by the law, this is utter divisive horseshit pushed by cucks like Noel Ignatiev based on that one retarded essay from Ben Franklin.

Pretty much ALL Europeans were considered white in the US. Look it up. The only exception were the Finns when the local court had to decide whether they're white or Mongoloid, and the ruling was that they're indeed white.

Shouldn't /pol/ types be more receptive to this? Isn't arguing that white privilege isn't some blanket concept and that it's more nuanced?

It was a religious thing in Protestant America too, lad.

The idea it was entirely due to a 17th century social engineering project seems far fetched.

Nearly every black person was a freed slave or descended from free slaves, whereas white immigrants from europe stretched from the working class, through the middle class to the upper class with a lot of cultural and social connections between them. This and slavery would have overwhelmingly contributed to the racial divide.
