Why do you think some people struggle to understand the concept of 'white privilege' and how would you explain it?

Racism definitely exists, however, the notion of white privilege having an extreme effect on society is just wrong. If anything I've seen more examples of "black privilege in today's society. I'm a half black half white American who appears more black than white, I've gotten more privilege from having a black heritage than any of my white heritage.

White privilege differs depending on where you're from, who you know, and how you look physically. I think because of that, not everyone is going to perceive "White privilege" in the same way. Why's it harder for me to obtain a job because of my very ethnic name? Why do I feel over-sexualized as a woman of color? Why do people constantly disrespect my heritage and how I do things culturally? Those are the questions you need to be asking.

Whites have zero privilege that minorities don't in today's society. It's absurd and laughable to claim otherwise – whites are literally overlooked for admittance into universities and being hired for jobs because of their skin colour while minorities, particularly blacks, are hired in their place despite often being far less qualified. The best way to stop discrimination based on race is to stop discriminating based on race, period, no exceptions, and to treat everyone, including whites, with equal dignity and respect, always choosing the most qualified person for the job without any regard to race. Affirmative action and DEI are fundamentally racist ideologies.
