It's not counter-factual, it's just factual.

Look, I'm a white man. The unfortunate truth is that white people pretty much always have an advantage, because of unconscious bias.

White people don't need formal systems that advantage them because they're already advantaged and have been for a long time.

It is counter to the facts in the thread which are systemic and documented. Your subjective feelings and perception do not necessarily correspond to reality as documented or experienced by others. For the individual their perception is their reality so there is no advantage in arguing against it. If your belief system makes you feel better that is all well and good, but it doesn't give you the right to impose it on others. Your shahada is not shared by everyone else.
