My parents didn't think that kids should have TVs in their rooms because it was more important to spend time together. I think that's a bigger privilege.
They also taught me to think of "privilege" as gifts given with the unspoken understanding that now I had a chance to pay it forward.
I don't know if I live up to it very often, but the thought is there.
