If you want to understand more about how white privilege works, especially in Victoria, BC, Canada - try suggesting developing a data centre in middle of Oak Bay - the richest, the whitest, the most privileged population in this city.
I'll bet my life, Mom's life, both my brother's lives - it would not go through, after only one council meeting, because super rich elites would not want that in their backyards. They're OK having it in our lesser privileged backyards though.
That's the same municipality that refused to build or convert unused old buildings into more affordable housing. They're completely against any type of social housing or supportive housing for our most marginalized citizens too.

You can try this experiment, almost anywhere in the world. Pick the most elitist municipality/neighbourhood in your area. Just try to suggest building a new data centre, right in midst. You will hear hate/threats hella fast but not for same reasons that marginalized communities oppose building new data centres.
