[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm not afraid to admit privilege. I felt it the moment I arrived in DC. I worked hard to but it's easy to work when everything is going your way just because you are white.[/b] Me white foreigner, me no English and nobody cared. I've been offered a job while I was shopping (no, not that kind of job). This was one of the first very big glues how "special I am" in US or at least in DC. Being told that I have credit and can move into an apartment asap, was another big glue. What's a "credit"?! I don't even worry about my kids. They are white in America and go to good schools.[/quote] I'm a white woman who wants to live in this place where you other white people have things that come so easily to you simply by being white. This reminds me of the Eddie Murphy SNL skit "White Like Me" where he shows the benefits white people get when black people aren't around. Somehow I haven't been invited to this club. [/quote]
