I'm white. I'm also, poor, female, mentally ill, ugly, an atheist and don't like or want kids. I don't think I'm very privileged.

In the ways listed after white, you aren't experiencing privilege. That doesn't change the fact that you have white privilege.

White privilege isn't always about your life being fantastic because you're white, it's about hey, your life might actually suck a little less then it would if you were another race. Because if we took everything about your life and on top of it made you black, you would have to deal with racism in addition to everything else going on.

I mean I get how it can be hard to connect with the word "privilege" when you just don't feel like your life has been that way, but I think it's just one way we explain how society treats us and how it can both help and hurt us.

privilege isn't a binary thing. it's a product of a lot of complex structures in society along several different axes. I mean, this is why we have the whole edifice of intersectionality, it seems to me.

that's not proof white privilege doesn't exist, it's proof you don't understand what it is.

I do now, and I wasn't trying to say it didn't exist, only that I didn't think I had experienced it.
