White privilege
[edit]In terms of White privilege it is hard to answer who is considered white and who is not considered white in society. Race has become broader over the evolution of time, and therefore race is more than just color. [1]
The invisible knapsack
[edit]The invisible knapsack is an essay by Peggy McIntosh. This essay is about the effect of white privilege on a day to day basis. The invisible knapsack discusses how those who are "white" are more privileged than those who are not considered "white". McIntosh lists the very benefits of being white in society, and how society treats a person for being "white". [2]
Instructor feedback
[edit]I think we could work on shifting the prose of this paragraph to be more encyclopedic. We will discuss in person on Thursday I hope. Good work. DaneAmanda (talk) 16:53, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Racial Profiling
[edit]Recent reports indicate that racial profiling still in fact exists. Racial minorities report that they are often stopped by police based on their race. The statistics also indicates that those who are "white" were not stopped as compared to those who are of visible minority. White privilege does indeed reflect into racial profiling since those who are of the "white" race are treated superior to those who are of visible minority or of another ethnicity. [3]
