You all really need to read that article I posted. By being white in the USA you are SO much more privileged than you're aware of. There are lots of things you take advantage of that you just don't realize.

And for all of you middle class kids out there who don't think you're privileged, I'll break it down.

How many of you questioned going to college? How many of you had many, many problems with your college applications? How many of you had no idea how to write an entrance essay? How many of you didn't know what to wear to scholarship interviews? How many of you know how to order food in nice restaurants?

For those of you who are older, when you got your first job how did you know how to negotiate your salary and benefits? How many of you had problems knowing how to speak to potential employers and coworkers?

How many of you have sat in a doctor's office and felt completely uncomfortable and alienated because you weren't filling out insurance forms? How many of you have felt uncomfortable making reservations at airlines or hotels? Paying bills over the phone?

Privilege doesn't mean things you see. Privileges are things you have that you don't think twice about. It is something you are given without even realizing it.
