Obviously white people have advantages in modern day America. But don't you think it would be a much more complex and nuanced take to change up the storyline? What if Todd's dad was a conman loser who hadn't achieved anything, just like Todd, and the only difference between the two was their race? You'd have an excellent opportunity to explore why it is that Todd has these successes while his father doesn't, despite taking the same sorts of actions in life. That seems to be what you're describing white privilege to be - two people in the same circumstances getting different outcomes on account of their race.

Instead, his father is a hard-working smart guy who feels he never got what he deserves, and Todd is a layabout loser who flukes into success - because "oh right, he's white." No other reason. Ignore that Todd's likable, funny, compassionate, thoughtful, creative - nah, he's just white, and therefore succeeds. He could've been the biggest monster in the world, the show seems to theorize, and he still would've had all the same successes because he's white. If privilege is so complex and nuanced (and I agree, it is), where's the complexity and nuance in this storyline?
