The empty gesture of acknowledging privilege

At A Tale of Two Words | The Dream Café, L. Raymond asked,

How does it help you to deny society treats certain segments better than others? To acknowledge is not to endorse.
I answered,

You’re pointing at the problem without seeing it. To acknowledge is not to change. Identitarians and universalists both want a fair world and both recognize that sexism and racism and so many other isms exist.
