I'm not jus talking economically, that's where you're getting hung up. White privilege is not about money it's about a peace of mind.
Yes, I wake up every morning going "thank god I'm a white guy living in Mexico City. It's so nice that Mexicans appreciate pale skin."
Even in the United States, I lived in a majority black town and went to a majority black high school. Believe it or not, privilege didn't exist there.
Peace of mind is an individual problem, not a racial problem.

You are not the majority in Mexico.

You were the minority in those situations.

I'd love to live the lily white world you do. But I'm a realist. You went to a majority black high school, lived in a majority black town. Guess what tho?? You anit black! You don't see the world through our eyes or have to live like we do. Guess what its damn well different.
And I see you're living in Mexico City, is it cool be reminded of your race everytime you step out the door? That's what it feels like to be a black person in America.
