I do find it the least bit ironic that some of those who find a preference for their own people, and thus rightly embrace the term of ‘racist’, are nonetheless among those who contend that whiteness holds no inherent privilege. As with the former, why concern yourself about the latter? You are white, of course you hold privilege; it is a rare genetic privilege the world over. If you weren’t white, your IQ wouldn’t be what it is, nor would your capacity for abstract thinking be what it is, and so on. There is a reason why we dominate the skilled trades as well as the professional managerial class. Your privilege is in your blood, and should be embraced, rather than denied.
