I'd always thought that using 'privilege' arguments was the plain and simple ad hominem fallacy.
To the extent that privilege claims are about ignorance, I think they're likely to have a point. To the extent that they're a claim that some people are guaranteed to be wrong, they're ad hominem.
Agreed, that's a great way of putting it.
