Only someone with white privilege would provide this answer. White privilege allows white members of society to begin their work higher up the economic and social ladder than minority groups, which is an unfair principle ingrained into our system that needs to be fixed.

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Your experiences, at least in the USA, don't reflect the rest of the world.

I think that there very much is white privilege. As a white person, we can go around and not be scared when we get pulled over if something bad is going to happen because of the color of our skin. And the fact that people in many businesses deny someone of service because of the color of their skin. There also can tend to be moments in history that we whitewash. I don't think there's any harm is bringing it up because it's something that needs to change.

white privilege is a real thing that has stemmed from systemic racism in our societal infrastructure. We just need to be aware of it so we acknowledge when it happens, and strive to make a difference when we see it.

There is racism built into everything in the US, in a way that a white person may go their whole life without ever noticing, reaping benefits and advantages they don't even realize they have. POC have spoken up, and it is everyone's responsibility to push for equity where it is needed in order to achieve overall equality.

White privilege is hard to see because it takes a great deal of self analysis and criticism. Being able to remove oneself from their own lives and shoes, then planting them into another persons experience is a hard skill. Since we all struggle, it’s difficult without experiencing racism to see its effects without seeing it firsthand or experiencing it.
