It's Me, Chelsea" on Netflix and it outlines all the ways white privilege exists, from obvious things that are measured, such as income disparities through incarceration rates through less obvious things, like police supposedly being more willing to let a white suspect go with a warning than a black suspect. I don't think that, given the fact there's hard data, any informed or educated person can argue that white privilege doesn't exist. But, whereas Chelsea could pinpoint exact ways she's benefited from it, I don't know that every white person does. Are there more insidious ways it creeps into society? For example, would an impoverished white person who has never been in trouble with the law still benefit in some way? How so? less
