To answer the OP, talk to people from other races and read what they write and try to understand their perspective. And also pay attention to the number of times a white cop shoots an innocent black in their own home etc.
And a big part is to recognize the history where people have acted upon the belief that their tribe, race, religion etc was inherently superior to the "other" no matter how the "other" was classified.
I don't see how I should behave differently. I treat people as I would like to be treated regardless of their race or religion.
‘The Man of the Future will be a Mongrel’ this is the plan.
i do not know if that is good or bad idea, so i agree with you. i do not like that way too many put in misery achieving the idea.To be sure, there is nothing wrong with being a "mongrel". At least you can be a decent human and a "mongrel" both. Can't say the same about being a racist and a decent human. Those two things just don't coexist.
Ok, now what?
Well, that's what I'm trying to find out. Let's sit aside the argument whether White privilege exists or what it is exactly. Now then going forward, what should be done about it? What behavior would need to be change so it is not a problem.
Is there there anything beyond treating people fairly that most of us could do?
I really agree with this. Throughout my life, I've been able to see that by the simple virtue of being what I was -- white, tall, male, good-looking (my opinion, occasionally seconded ), I really did have advantages that others did not. I was offered jobs that others, who had skills equal to my own, couldn't hope to get. I got raises that those not quite like me, but who contributed just as I did, weren't considered for. I've been believed when others, as honest (or not) as I am, wouldn't be.Take time to learn about what is going on for non-whites. A little here, a little there can go a long way.
White people who are firmly enclosed in "white space" should find the inspiration to get out and explore something outside that space.
The biggest hurdle we humans have to overcome, if it is even possible (I think it is, though difficult), is to learn to accept that every human is just as human as every other.
IMHO white privilege was a real thing a few years ago, but now, at least in my community, I don't see it. "What behavior needs to change?" I think that any behavior by anyone that thinks less of anyone else due to race should go away.
The PRIVILEGED behavior is what would change. But you just posted that you don't want to know what that is, exactly. So I don't see how anyone could explain to you what would need to be changed. Do you?Well, that's what I'm trying to find out. Let's sit aside the argument whether White privilege exists or what it is exactly. Now then going forward, what should be done about it?

Which white people?Assuming White Privilege is a problem.
How should White folks behave differently?
Ok, after learning should Whites be behaving differently? How would a person who has step out of their White space behave different than one who has not?
IOW, two White people standing side by side. Could you tell by their actions which had and which had not?
Among a host of other things ...
- Acknowledge its pervasiveness.
- Be sensitive to its expressions.
- Repudiate its denial.
- Support criminal justice reform efforts.
How do we respond to having been given so many advantages in life simply for being born white in a culture controlled by white people, for the benefit of white people? Do we reject all those advantages? Is that even possible? It's been going on for so long, and is so pervasive that it's literally a part of who I am, now. It's so pervasive that it's basically become invisible to those who have been benefiting from it all their lives. It's only visible to those who have been frustrated and victimized by it.Is there there anything beyond treating people fairly that most of us could do?
Yay! My Celt-Norse-Cherokee self is from the future! I'm special! Get me a milkshake you plebe of the past!‘The Man of the Future will be a Mongrel’ this is the plan.

Ok, how is this different from racism?Among a host of other things ...
- Acknowledge its pervasiveness.

I think you are trying to muddy the waters. You cannot always so glibly equate one thing to another. Your first question, for example, tries to equate "acknowledgement of white privilege" with "racism." This cannot be done. One is a recognition of an established fact, the other is a judgement based on criteria that don't apply. Similar arguments for your other points.You ask ...
... and in so doing model a rather pathetic and sophomoric form of white privilege victimhood.
- How is acknowledging the pervasiveness of white privilege different than racism?
- How is sensitivity to the expression of white privilege different than racism?
- How is repudiating the denial of white privilege different than racism?
- How is support for criminal justice reform efforts. different than racism?
