White

I see white privilege as any basic advantage a white person has in society or everyday life do to the color of their skin. For example, a black male walks into a Walmart wearing and resembling the clothing of an average "Gang Banger" he has a better chance of getting followed throughout the store then maybe a white male would in the same attire. A lot you may be familiar with Justin Bieber and his wide variety of thug like clothing. Its ironic that we do not picture Justin as a "thug like"…

are managed by individuals for profit rather than Canada's government. White patriarchy is a term easily used to describe the state of our current society. In the Canadian government, men tend to hold and maintain the power and women are typically deprived of these opportunities. Unfortunately, this style of society has been maintained throughout history. In our social system, both of these factors have combined creating a white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, also known as, Donald J Trump.…

“As a white person, I realized I had been taught about racism as something which puts others at a disadvantage, but had been taught not to see one of its corollary aspects, white privilege, which puts me at an advantage” (McIntosh, p. 55). Growing up white, I was never taught or shown that being white had “advantages” over other races. However, I started to notice these advantages in middle school. My middle school, Arts Impact Middle School in downtown Columbus, was 76.8% black and 11.2% white.…

“The people in White Teeth are immigrants” (“An Interview With Zadie Smith”).

Said herself; Zadie Smith claims that the characters in White Teeth are immigrants.

Yet as a “good Catholic family man,” White is…

White privilege to me was difficult to defining in my own context because white privilege was a new term that I was faced with. The link between power and racism which involves white privilege was also new knowledge and took some time for me to identify the links. The different racial terms were also a struggle to understand without any professional context. However, when defining white privilege in the context of profession it was much easier to define as I understood the link between power and…

White privilege advantages whites in many ways. The most important way I feel that white privilege advantages whites in that they may never have to worry about getting in trouble with the law enforcement officers over unnecessary things. For example, with the Sandra Bland case, the officer that arrested her was put on…

Educating white children on white privilege is not as straightforward as it may seem. One study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology suggests that when presented with evidence of white privilege, white people actually respond with denial on the basis of personal hardships (Phillips, Lowry 12-18). The study also states that understanding privilege, “requires a comparison to someone of another group membership with the same life circumstances” (Phillips, Lowry 12-18). If white children…
