Answer to Question 1

White privilege refers to the rights or immunities granted as a particular benefit or favor for being White. This advantage exists unconsciously and is often invisible to the White people who enjoy it. Being White or being successful in establishing a White identity carries with it distinct advantages. Among those that McIntosh (1988) identified were the following:
 Being considered financially reliable when using checks, credit cards, or cash
 Taking a job without having coworkers suspect it came about because of race
 Never having to speak for all the people of an individual's race
 Watching television or reading a newspaper and seeing people of one's own race widely represented
 Speaking effectively in a large group without being called a credit to a person's race
 Assuming that if legal or medical help is needed, a person's race will not work against him or her
Typically, White people do not see themselves as privileged in the way many African Americans and Latinos see themselves as disadvantaged. Privilege for many White people may be easy to exercise in one's life, but it is difficult to acknowledge.
