Do you think that Slavs have white privilege ?

Silly question.
If they don't have an accent, nobody/very few can tell they are Slavic. Western Europeans are only bigoted towards the FOB ones with accents and foreign culture, but not to their integrated children who grew up in the West.
It is much easier to physically/visually tell North vs South Europeans than West from East Europeans.
I notice a Baltic look but the average AmeriMutt (Hybridized European American) wouldn't know and most Europeans wouldn't care. Even though they are still a bit xenophobic i.e. Polish hate in the UK but their only marker of difference is being recent immigrants/newcomers with different accents.

Poles look like Germans Scandinavians and Brits.
The Polish do not look Scandinavian (for starters they aren't as tall) and they have a general Slavic look. The only similarity I see is the Teutonic look of light hair and eyes more often which occurs more readily in Northern Poland. And the British don't tend to have a look beyond being ghostly pale (they also have had random waves of migration from other areas of Europe) and range from looking Mediterranean to Germanic in appearance with various gradients. Mr Bean is as indigenous Brit as Prince Harry (we will ignore that the House of Windsor is German)
only outside of europe

I dont like Slavs. They are hella bigoted. The Slavs in America (Polish Americans) are liberal unlike their Polish counterparts.The Polish do not look Scandinavian (for starters they aren't as tall) and they have a general Slavic look. The only similarity I see is the Teutonic look of light hair and eyes more often which occurs more readily in Northern Poland. And the British don't tend to have a look beyond being ghostly pale (they also have had random waves of migration from other areas of Europe) and range from looking Mediterranean to Germanic in appearance with various gradients. Mr Bean is as indigenous Brit as Prince Harry (we will ignore that the House of Windsor is German)
If they manage to master the Western European accent then No.
Slavs aren't so bad.There were a lot of American Madows that fled to Soviet Russia to escape American racial discrimination as early as the 1930s.

Idk about Europe but in NA a large amount of white people have east European ancestry and last names but they’re treated the same as any other white person. If they have no accent they blend in easily even as 1st gen. Meanwhile 3rd gen Asians are still asked “where are you from”
The idea of white privilege is pretty much a joke unless you're speaking about the court/legal system.

Asian-Americans are viewed as perpetual foreigners. The only reason why Black-Americans of non-Slave ancestry usually don't get treated as perpetual foreigners is because Blacks have a long & deep presence in the USA.
Whereas, Asians were not present when the USA was being formed & did not have any substantial population in Continental America like the Mexican Mestizos who were absorbed into the USA after the Mexican-American War.

Let me tell you straight from a (south) Slavs perspective, Slavs that were part of the Austro-Hungarian empire (primarily West Slavs such as Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, but also Slovenians and Croats (South Slavs) think they have white privilege. The German world viewed them as untermensch throughout history but it has changed due to eastern Europe being the most racially homogoenical territory in Europe now, viewed as a role model and something to strive for.
Most of the mentioned above peoples have pathological complexes of lesser self worth and want to be Germanic. Whereas East Slavs and South Slavs dont.
