People with White privilege fail to see that they have it - they remain ignorant to the benefits they have received from birth because they have never known a life outside of those benefits. As such, it strikes people as a surprise, and often an insult, to learn they have an unfair advantage in certain areas because of the colour of their skin.
White privilege, by my definition, is the unfair advantage that White people receive from birth, both socially and economically.
