[QUOTE="DaisyDay, post: 73994071, member: 6146"] "White privilege" is not an accusation - it's a statement of fact, even here in America. The collective assumption is that we are the norm, benign and non-suspicious. Collectively, we get loans more easily with much better rates. We get directed to the good housing in the more upscale neighborhoods. When we are present in these "good neighborhoods", the assumption is that we belong there. When we get into elite universities, the assumption is that we got there on merit (or our parents' legacy merit), not out of pity or because of quotas. When we apply for office jobs, the assumption is that we will fit right in and be competent. There is also a Class Privilege, but being white makes it easier to belong to the upper classes or, at least, to be presumed to belong. [/QUOTE]
