"The guys who made the movies were all white and/or Jewish. They looked at things through a white lens. Their goal, of course, was to make money and make films audiences wanted to see. Their perception was that actors had to have a certain look, couldn't be too ethnic, ..."

That seems like a pretty good definition of white privileged as it is applied in the entertainment industry at least.

White people in power are more comfortable with other white people, so they ignore and pass over non-whites much of the time. Or they think non-whites will not be acceptable to white customers and so they pass them over much of the time.
