Again, in my eye pointing out white privilege is an incentive for minorities to work harder.  Just like telling my daughter that students from a better high school will have an advantage over her.


But that is because we view them differently.  I don't view minorities as the type who are too lazy to help themselves.  Instead i see them like my daughter, as people who are willing to step up and face a challenge.

I just don't see how pointing out the truth of white privilege is just an incentive to fail.
