    Certainly there is an economic element to the way people are judged, but privilege does help sustain that economic status and is a barrier to others.

    Like I said, the privilege exists, regardless of denial.
    You're likely projecting your own experiences and trying to speak for everyone, which is inaccurate and irresponsible.

    I suppose.

    I've found that justice is the first casualty in a court room.

    I did not even know what white privilege was until I started posting on political internet forums.

    Something I did not think about until much later in life was that I never feared that someone would call me names or discriminate against me. I didn't realize that majority of television featured white actors with "white roles". I did not think about institutional racism in the justice system and law enforcement.

    Canada had "polite racism" so it was never really discussed. I had very little education on the issue and very little exposure through media or other mediums.

    My ignorance for 19 years is probably an example of white privilege. I imagine my viewpoint would have been much different if I were another race/ethnicity.

    What people need to realize is that everyone is different and have different backgrounds and upbringings. To assume that every white person has had it easy is a form of bigotry, and to have a built in excuse for ones shortcomings is a form of privilege in of itself.

    I got passed up for financial aid when applying to high school while my friend, who was black, who had a lower average than me, got aid, despite the fact that his family made more than mine. This example isn't to whine or cry about anything, rather, to illustrate that the concept of blanket privilege based on race is false.

    How is that whining?

    Did I go out and loot liquor stores? Or lawyer up and sue?

    Nah, I just went to work somewhere else. It doesn't mean that I can't make that statement and be considered "whining".

    You're projecting.
    Safety struggles with language. I never really have. I am starting to ponder my white privilege...

    I honestly get the impression that, while all whites are force fed this garbage, Canadian whites actually believe it.
