White privilege is an inherent advantage, that is unearned and unacknowledged, yet practiced by whites regularly. White people typically earn more money and have more assets than other races. Fortunate individuals continue to fail to realize there is still inequality. They usually rise well above the poverty line, and live relatively economically sound lives. This is true for Brock Turner, a white male former swimmer and student at Stanford University. On January 18, 2015, just after one in the morning, law enforcement officers responded to a report of an unconscious female on campus. Police officers found the rape victim on the ground, in a fetal position, behind a garbage dumpster. Brock Turner only served three months behind bars for his crime. Many believe this is due to his race and economic status.
