Jon Stewart To Bill O'Reilly: Just Admit White Privilege Exists!

Stewart started the conversation by requesting that O'Reilly just "admit that there is such a thing as white privilege." In response, O'Reilly declared that if white privilege exists, then the existence of "Asian privilege" must also be acknowledged.

"You're missing the point," Stewart said. "The Asian immigrant experience is very different from the black experience so it's really, they're not equivalent. And either way white people, males, set the system."

"Sure, that was then. This is now," O'Reilly responded. "Maybe you haven't figured out that there is no more slavery. No more Jim Crow. And the most powerful man in the world is a black American. And the most powerful woman in the world, Oprah Winfrey, is black."

Stewart sighed "oh boy" throughout O'Reilly's rant before interjecting that "being able to give people a free car does not make you the most powerful woman in the world."
