He said Buddhist, no white guys who complain about life when they are the most privileged people ever

Shcioenhauer was a buddhist tho.
Also privilege is not limited to race, anon. There are many fuck poor white people, just as there are poor black/asian/latino people and rich black/asian/latino people. Whilst people are often discriminated against on the basis of race, class-based discrimination is also a huge thing.
The race-based divide and rule propaganda of the capitalist superstructure has to stop. We all suffer, we must work together to end this suffering.
Interestingly a large component of Schopenhauer's thought was how life equated to suffering of the person or other people as a result of the choices of that person to (for example) eat animals or support certain ethico-moral positions. Pretty buddhist to me.

N fails to see that even opinions, values, thoughts are stupid to cling too

>white guys complaining about privilege
Consider suicide.
Anyway, shouldn't somebody who had it all and still found life repulsive be even more persuasive?
Probably Urs App has dissected this; he is an expert in Buddhist thought and its reception in the 19th century (Schopenhauer most notably). Maybe check his Birth of Orientalism and many articles online?

Prince Siddharta was privileged. Your argument is invalid.
Also eat shit and die.
Buddhism was always about wresting with the idea of how to find meaning in life and what it means to be alive. Buddhist, unlike nihilist, dont stem all of their ideas from the thought that all life is meaningless therefore existence is sucks or whatever

No such thing as "white privilege" that's something people who suffer from race and success envy say.

Buddha is also described as being white and blue-eyed. Was he the original White Privilege kid? Someone's gotta break it to all the western converts, dude.
