White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack

When reading White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack, it really became clear to me how many privileges whites have. In the United States white is the dominate race. So many other races are talked about in a bad manner or looked down upon. Whites always seem to have the upper hand in society. The writer has listed so many points that she says whites have as privileges and they are so true. It is awful to think that the white people, mainly white men, have so many privileges in our society. People try to say they are not racist but I think it is pretty clear that many still are. It is very unfair to the other races and ethnic groups and cultures. We are in 2009 and people still look down on African Americans, Hispanics, Chinese, and other immigrants coming to the United States. The thing is it is not going to change so they might as well get used to it.
