In reply to the discussion: Poll re white privilege [View all]Gravitycollapse
(8,155 posts)I was once run off the road by racist skinheads. Although I don't remember any other particularly distinct moment where I've felt specifically targeted malevolently. But I understand what you're saying in that white privilege doesn't guarantee the utmost accommodation to all white persons.
White privilege exists along a continuum and is not equal among white individuals. However, the important function to remember is that, in specific circumstance, a white individual will almost always be presented with a superior outcome to a non-white individual. The reason why this is such an absolute is that white privilege is systemic and diffuse, operating nearly completely blind to the conscious prejudice of any single person.
It is codified into every aspect of life and it is in this way that it transcends , as all systemic prejudice does, any one person and thus resists change or identification.
