Not a big surprise. In the simple world of white privilege white people have an advantage and black people are disadvantaged from birth. Policies must balance this out.
In the real world life people don't fit into these simple boxes. Where do half white / half black people fit in. Are they slightly privileged?Should someone 100% black feel disadvantaged over someone with lighter skin? Are brown people more privileged?
Does it matter if they are from Mexico vs Arab vs Southern Italian vs Indian? Who has more or less privilege?
Where do the Obama daughters fit in? They have more privileges and a bigger leg up over anyone reading this site. Do they suffer from white privilege?

- dariusj18 6y agoIt would be interesting to see if the Obama daughters have more or less advantage than other comparable President's family members. But I don't see a way to do a valid comparison; too small a sample size and the subjects don't really have many constants.
