I hear you but that is covered surely in the many report/papers/threads/books ect that black people/poc have created on 'white privilege' and where and how that impacts those who may pass?

My dad is mixed race. He passes as white at times and others not. So, it is a close to home issue. I get where you are coming from though.

I'm definitely not arguing against the concepts of white privilege or "passing"! But I think white privilege is a concept that exists in specific societies, and is not something that's present in every single example of racism.

And passing is something that primarily reflects the way that people's perceptions of someone's identity affect the way that they treat that person. Like... being able to pass as X doesn't change the actual racial "category" that society sorts you into, if that makes sense?

I think most victims of racism would argue that white privilege is very real and very dangerous. It is why only certain people get profiled at airports for example. I walked into Australia without question with my British passport and white face. I saw the racism happen around me as others were profiled.


Of course. My gran can pass as white. My dad can't. They share they same Aboriginal black ancestor. Still, there are issues and fears my family face others don;t purely on their race and their panic over whether they can pass or not. It is a fucked up world
