So, I can say yes to every single one of these statements. Does that make me priveleged? Yes. Does that mean I don't think about this stuff? Certainly not.
Most of my classmates in grad school are white women. A rough breakdown of my classmates in order of most to least would look something like this:
White women Asian women Black women White and Asian men (about equal) Latino women
What does that mean? I don't know.
From the article: My schooling gave me no training in seeing myself as an oppressor, as an unfairly advantaged person, or as a participant in a damaged culture. I was taught to see myself as an individual whose moral state depended on her individual moral will.
I resemble that remark. And I don't know how I feel about that. Just sayin'.
