Okay, we agree that passing in and of itself isn't a privilege.
I don't think I suggested anywhere that one should "soak up privilege and then put the blame on another group." Not sure how you got that out of what I have been saying. Or maybe you're just making a different point.
What I did say was that if a person of color is granted white skin privilege (for example), they may choose to confront the racism behind that each and every time it happens, or they may not. It is not, however their responsibility/job to confront it. It may not even be safe to do that.
Not sure we are communicating clearly here so don't want to appear to be having an argument we aren't really even having. Know what I mean?
