    The question is whether privilege is the right word for this.

    Privilege kinda describes something above what’s deserved or something unearned.

    You’re describing basic human decency I think which everyone deserves

      I have been arguing this for years now and all I get is the “bUt tHeY’re BEtTeR oFf sO ThEy arE prIviLeGeD”

      OK, and look at all the people you’re calling “privileged” who don’t agree with you because of your characterization of them. If changing the word gets them on your side isn’t that worth it?
