Previlege refers to the assumptions made from standpoint of advantages as though others have that advantage, its a lack of consideration for others lack of advantages.
So using your examples, its previlege when larger framed people complain about the amount of water smaller people use when filling it with water, or if dark skinned people say "why do you pay so much for sunscreen?" (that being said, darker skin protects you from sunburn, not from UV radiation which sun screen is intended to protect against, dark skinned people needing less sun screen is a fallacy)
