What is "White Privledge"?

[BmorePat87]

I don't like the word "privilege", but basically it describes the inherent advantage received by being white in society.

An example could be seeing a vast majority of people in shows and movies represent my race. People don't eye me suspiciously when I'm in stores. If I give my opinion, people don't assume I speak for all white people.


Is there a difference between this and class privilege? Definitely. I grew up lower middle class and didn't have access to the same things as those who had more money. One class privilege could be access to better schools. Access to better food. Treated better when shopping for things.
