WHITE MALES have a advantage in basically EVERY SINGLE social context/setting that matters, whether it be foids, jobs, preferential treatment at fucking restaurants you name it, the world is literally there oyster, as a white man you can travel to every country in the world, from the richest to the poorest, the most affluent to the most destitute and you will be treated like royalty by the white worshiping locals.
While ethnics are treated like disposable trash in white countries, whites are literally worshiped like demigods in ethnic countries.

it almost seems as if the world was specifically constructed for them, they are the main character, the only character, while every other non white figure is a non-discript shadow, unnoticed, unknown, lurking in the background, you might be able to notice us, if you look long enough.

" Bus drivers were twice as willing to let white testers ride free as black testers (72% versus 36% of the time). Bus drivers showed some relative favoritism toward testers who shared their own race, but even black drivers still favored white testers over black testers (allowing free rides 83% versus 68% of the time). "
We have to remember, most of these biases are unconscious, they are implicit biases that favor white males, this is what makes it so brutal, even non whites are affected by this extreme favoritism/bias towards whites.
" If you bring a Western guy … then they really feel important, so if I come in there I almost feel like a God. […] Honestly, every meeting where I have been, they give me business afterwards … I always see that the business is increasing when I’ve been there. Not that because I’m so good, [but] because I’m a Western guy. "
Contrast the experience of the "WHITE" dutch guy in India with the experience of this Congolese guy in the same country.
"The Congolese gentleman had been living in India for about a decade. He had recently lost his job and been evicted from his apartment. He suspected that in both cases his dark skin was to blame. Africans have a very hard time finding housing in South Delhi’s more middle-class colonies because people don’t like to rent to Africans. "
This also further adds more credence and validity to my post relating to how racism is essentially lookism.
" Through my work in India and earlier research in South Africa, I have concluded that migrant experience is over determined by perceived socio-economic class and what the migrant looks like - eye shape, height, hair texture and race. "
We have to remember, white male advantage is not something that is quantifiable or easily measurable, its like the social hierarchy that existed/exists in high school, some people just had/have more "cool points" then others, it was not something that could be easily explained nor even properly understood, but it was there, some people where just more popular then others.
This is why its so hard to explain white privilege, particularly white male privilege to white males. They can never fully grasp its significance because they are living it, most have not fully conceptualize the gargantuan advantage they have on this earth.
White males don't just have a slight advantage here or there, or a advantage that is only "statistically relevant" as some posters have implied, there advantage is within the realm of orders of magnitude.
