So because someone wouldn't trade their white skin for a different color means they know they're privileged?
That's one way to think about it.
How about this way though.
They know if their skin color was different their family members would be different people. Therefore they don't want to "trade" their skin color because they like their family?
They like who they are as a person and wouldn't change their lives.
This doesn't make them racist or privileged.
I won't even bring up the fact that if you ask minorities this question who are comfortable in their skin. They won't change their skin color either. They're PROUD of their skin color in spite of the possible challenges it presents to them.
its a question to provoke thought, what would be the pros/cons of changing one's skin color/ethnicity, and would you do it if you could based on your own life experiences.
to your point there are plenty of people wouldn't change a damn thing about themselves.
but there are also plenty of people that have wished their hair was different, eyes were rounder, skin was lighter, had more european like facial features etc because that's what society rewards/pushes as beauty standards and treats people. we know how society likes to treat 'ugly' people
