I'm sorry about chimin in here. But, I just wanted to point out your word choice. Whether conscious or sub-conscious, you say skin color's a "gift." This presupposes there's a gifter, and a gifted. I respect all your input, of course. I just wanted to directly bring your eyes back around to what you said: you've been gifted this "white, priviledged skin color." Sorry, but that there reminds me of proselytizing "europeans" spreading their "gifts" of industry, religion, etc. through parts of Africa and Americas and Asia.
