What is white privilege?

White privilege is the advantage that Caucasians gain just by being Caucasians, generally reinforced by numerous stereotypes, both subtle and explicit. There is a tacit assumption that any given Caucasian is a hard working law abiding citizen. This privilege is regional; white privilege applies mostly to places where Caucasians are the large majority of the population.Examples:People with Caucasian names in general are more likely to get callbacks when looking for a job, and are more likely to get a job all other things being equal.A youth with a hoodie would be deemed just a kid if he was Caucasian, but possibly a thug or gang banger if he was African-American.With respect to law enforcement, this has historically led to disproportionate stops, frisks, and arrests of African Americans and other minorities compared to Caucasians.In Criminal sentencing, Caucasians tend to face lesser fines or jailtime for identical crimes.White privilege can also manifest itself in other ways:The ability to walk the street even at night without being afraid of being stopped by an officer.The ability to carry a legal gun in public, without fear of being shot by police.Overall, the belief that the legal system will be fair to you.The ability to get in an elevator with another person without them being afraid of you.The knowledge that your opinion will be treated seriously and that you will be seen as educated.
