Watching Daily Show host Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly chat is never not interesting –– though most of the time they're feuding. Regardless of the subject, the two have gone head-to-head on a number of important issues over the years. And last night, the Fox News correspondent stopped over at the Comedy Central program to discuss with the comedian his newest book Killing Patton, but they mainly talked about one issue: white privilege.

After admitting he didn't read the new book, Stewart immediately went to O'Reilly with the plea, "Here's all I want from you. ... I have one simple goal. I want you to admit that there is such a thing as white privilege. That's all I want!"

His comments come of course because O'Reilly has admitted to believing there is no such thing as white privilege. Stewart, obviously, disagrees.

"If there's white privilege, there has to be Asian privilege, because Asians make more money than whites," the O'Reilly Factor host claimed.

He added, "America is now a place where if you work hard, get an education and are an honest person, you can succeed. That's what should be put out there." To which Stewart rebutted, "You are carrying more of a burden as a black person in this country than a white person in this country. ... Individually."

With all the back and forth, and yes, an intense yelling match, the comedian ended the debate saying, "I'll call it this, and I think it's a word you'll understand. It's a factor," referencing race being a part of the opportunities one gets..

O'Reilly agreed, "It's a factor. I'll give you that."
