White Privilege

Although many people believe that racism is over, too many people it is very real and active in their lives today.  This article talks about all the privileges that white males unconsciously receive and may not even notice. The fact that these white men don't see this preference is the thing that makes women and men of different races feel inferior. White women also get privileges, like finding the right foundation, but not nearly as many as men do because of the large amount of sexism in our country. I liked how the author did not blame the white people for their privileges because these privileges are now part of our culture, no matter how unjust it is, from history and our current generation is not the ones who imposed the privileges.
