So, I am a bit confused about what exactly 'white privilege' is. I was always under the assumption that white privilege referred to the 2% of the world that runs the country.
My confusion arose today from a prior co-worker.. I was recently promoted to a great position in my hospital, and I felt that I got there from my interpersonal skills and tenacity. I had 2 letters of recommendation 'from white people' for the position, and was given the position over 100 applicants, which I'm sure many of them were white.
My co-worker said, and I quote
Quote
Some white man gets the job over 3 hard working black girls. White privilege is real!
So my question is, are all white people susceptible to this white privilege witch hunt? My views are being skewed.. If not, someone please elaborate.
