- I never really thought that I was "privileged" because I am white. I mean, don't ethnic minorities get preference for colleges and scholarships? They have the advantage there! - Isn't that right somewhat, that men are naturally dominant, at least physically? I mean, you can't really argue that. - hm...yes, I was taught the same way- to be morally neutral or whatever. And I mean, how can we fix treating others as "them" and "us?" Make everything 100% equal? - I mean, some of these privileges can apply to blacks too. Like moving to a good neighborhood you can afford? Many blacks can do this. - Some of these are very good points. None of them have I ever thought of as a "privilege" though. It's a real eye opener! - It's almost like black people have to be paranoid and suspicious of everything! - It would be interesting to see what a guy would write about his male privileges. - She's saying that even white people should work to lessen our unearned privilege? But what are we supposed to do? A lot of things just passively happen to us because that's how society is.
