I think Junie Vallon snapshot captures very well how society privileges white people. Something as simple as a movie or tv show the main characters are typically white color people we don’t get see many people of color being the main character. Growing up as a kid I took dance classes all the girls in my class were mostly white it was just me and one more girl of color. At that moment I didn’t realized till years later, that I was never in the front of any of the shows or the roles I played were never the main ones but the extras and it wasn’t because I was not good they just gave more privilege to white girls after all the school was full with white people mainly. 

As I was reading Peggy McIntosh list one of them said “ I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of finical reliability” this reminded when I accompany my friend Lexi who is a white girl, to go apartment hunting. We started in Lower east and end up in West Village  because the real estate agent insisted it was a great apartment for her and she look like she could afford it. I really doubt that someone with a darker skin color would have had the same treatment my friend had.
