    What White Privilege?!! Explanation! I’m not saying that privilege doesn’t exist‚ I’m saying that as far as White Privilege goes in Modern Society‚ it is an anthill being transformed into a Mountain to push an agenda. I agree with Black Conservative and Economist Thomas Sowell when he argues that moral condemnation of discrimination doesn’t automatically make it causally crucial‚ that having a majority in any society is a given‚ that the idea of a homogonized "white" group in society that is accepted

    Lessons Not Learned In School My parents were born in Latin America and that‚ by default‚ makes me Latina. This is how I identify. When I am asked where I am from‚ and believe me‚ I am always asked‚ I tend to respond “I’m from L.A.”. This has become my go-to answer mostly because at twenty-seven‚ I still don’t know how to begin answering that question without asking myself if I should respond with the name of the country of my parents’ origin.

    There are many things that stand out in America as we have all come to know it today. Among those that are in the majority there are no worries‚ and things are typically thought to be very equal and just. Everything is relative‚ and compared to the past everything is equal and just‚ but there is a lot of ground that can still be made. There are numerous examples throughout our history of people stating grievances in the cases of women’s rights‚ African American rights‚ GLBT issues‚ and even the unstated

    reasonably‚ on the offense. What is interesting about Trask’s writing is her clarity. She tells tourists not to visit‚ Hawaiians not to practice their indigenous culture peripherally‚ historians to be more self-reflexive‚ and haole’s to unpack their knapsacks of white privilege and colonial histories. It is also clear what is at stake in her interrogations and resolutions; the survival of Native Hawaiian people‚ rights‚ culture‚ and lands. Trask’s text‚ in presentation‚ appears more like

Nowadays‚ people

    Amanda Tatarek 9/29/10 Article Review #1 The article begins by the author explaining that men have privilege over women. “Denials which amount to taboos surround the subject of advantages which men gain from women’s disadvantages. These denials protect male privilege from being fully acknowledged‚ lessened or ended‚” (McIntosh‚ 1998. P. 1).
