He's not white, but he is the equivalent. Also a son of a cop, and Japan still also has very racist and colorist views. In comparison it works.

Okay I'm too lazy to Google it right now so feel free to completely ignore this, but would you happen to have a tldr on Japan's ethnic groups? Or a link to a good and hopefully concise source?

i think the creator of this meme (not me if that wasn’t obvious) made a mistake in that it was actually L who was coded to be white:

When asked about L's ethnicity, creator of the series Tsugumi Ohba responded, "I think of him as a quarter Japanese, a quarter English, a quarter Russian, a quarter French or Italian, like that." fandom

"White Privilege" is going to be relative to where you are. They could have just said Privileged.
