Do u believe that White privilege actually exists ? 💡

For example. If an officer stops a person of color they are 3 times more likely to be harassed or shot by a cop. Or discriminated against. Or charged and given a higher life sentence for the same offense. You've seen how race has become an issue over the past few years especially in the US. Do you believe that white privilege exists.

Everyone is born/given situations. Class/money privilege is probably a much bigger factor as far as success in life is concerned.

@Kevin19 But race is also a factor.

I agree! People who are white have advantages and disadvantages. People who aren't white also have advantages and disadvantages. I think race/skin color is not as important as people wish to think. @Zonuss

@Kevin19 If you haven't walked in that persons shoes you have no measure or idea of the tribulations they go through.

Affirmative action of any kind, scholarships, et c. Those are the obvious ones. @Pikachu

@Kevin19 Affirmative action was created because of the results of White privilege.

I was simply answering a question as far as what advantages a person has. That is an advantage. @Zonuss

@Kevin19 But not necessarily a birthright privilege. ☺
