[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an interesting conversation at work about this once. Group of coworkers went to a seminar/workshop for POC in our industry. Two White Latinas showed up and the group was upset. The White Latinas interpreted POC to include all Hispanics, both white and non-white. Everyone else said it’s solely about skin color. Having white skin, regardless of your ethnicity, means you are afforded white privilege.[/quote] That’s not always true about being “afforded white privilege — particularly for Black people with light skin, even with blond hair and blue eyes. Sometimes this comes with a different kind of racism— when (white) people feel tricked or somehow deceived because they made assumptions that turn out to be wrong. [/quote]
