White Privilege In Social Media

232 Words1 Pages
White privilege is something I didn’t have much knowledge on until this year because it was starting hit social media and I realized it affected me aswell. In this article it gave a lot of example of how white privilege is very much around still in 2015. The author of this article took a step back and was aware of their surrounding and how they do in fact get treated differently than those of colors. There are many whites now a days that don’t understand that white privilege does indeed still exist. She mentioned important examples in which I can relate to, for example when buying postcards or toys there is almost never some one of my race. Im scared of speaking out or being put into a lower class because I’ll automatically be criticized because there are people out there who think hispanics are illiterate. Many fail to realize that because they haven’t had any experience of oppression and become defensive when something is mentioned about how they are privilege.
