Interesting thing about race relations. Racism is not dependent on you noticing.

Fun fact, in 1967 a poll was done that found that over 50% of white Americans believed whites and blacks had achieved racial equality in the US. So that means when Dr. King gave his "I have a dream " speech, more than half of all whites were standing around confused about what black people were upset about.

White privilege is not dependent on you noticing it.

Minor nitpick, but it's reasonable to assume that the sampling of white people attending the speech of a civil rights leader would be weighted towards the portion of them who did not believe equality had been achieved.
