I see privileges as a sort of guarantee for something. And some people have more privileges than others beginning with the color of their skin. It is a sad shame that someone’s skin color can be determining factor in how they are treated, in whether or not they get a job/promotion. But it has and still does exist. And unfortunately until everyone agrees that it racism is a problem, the problem will continue to exist.
The articles also made me rethink the “people are people” line because although it is true, we are all people, lumping everyone into one exclusive category erases what makes up each person, their plight, and therefore makes the statement untrue and unfair to everyone as well all have our each unique story.
