They cannot and do not benefit from it in any way, while whites do. Can minorities be prejudice? Absolutely. Which is what I think happened to you on Sunday. It is important to make this distinction, because there is no such thing as "reverse racism" - there is just plain ol' racism, and it operates at an institutionalized level. Whites can be victims of prejudice, but they are not systematically oppressed based on race (though plenty certainly are along CLASS lines), as blacks, native americans, latinos or other minorities are.
I don’t get then how people of Asian decent, who achieve at levels higher than privileged whites, reflect crime, prison, education, etc at rates reflecting more privilege than white people.

‘Pew Research’ Wrote:Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in the United States. They are more satisfied than the general public with their lives, finances and the direction of the country, and they place more value than other Americans do on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success, according to a comprehensive new nationwide survey by the Pew Research Center.

Asia is a vast diverse group of peoples, and not every diaspora has had the same experience, but in general, America seems to work for them. Refugees fleeing from Vietnam, or Cambodia are still climbing that very challenging path out of poverty.
