hundreds of nazis taking to the streets with flaming torches with no consequences would constitute a very narrow definition of white privilege.

It's certainly a compelling *example* of white privilege, but as a definition, it would preclude individuals, non-nazis, or people without lit torches from having or exhibiting white privilege.
