In my case as a Puerto Rican, I feel privilege of been a United states citizen from birth. When compared to another racial group which can&#8217;t have the benefits of Americans or have to wait to receive any type of benefits, resources or help. Many Immigrants doesn&#8217;t have this privilege when they come to United State and even to come to this country is a process which is not easy for them. Another way I feel privilege in a way is being low-income population we get some financial aid help to go to college compared to other people that have to pay out of package for their education which sometimes doesn&#8217;t guarantee a good job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Now privilege doesn&#8217;t mean we won&#8217;t experience oppression. Yes, it is true as Puerto Rican I get to enjoy Americans benefits but also as a Puerto Rican, I felt oppress for not knowing English. Many times, I experience bullying I been told to go back to Puerto Rico and learn English because this is America, I been hearing this so many times not only to Puerto Ricans but to the Hispanic population overall. Jobs wise is another way to experience oppression example I was a temp for many years where I did not have any benefits as the permanent&#8217;s employee yes, I had the experience to work for them but did not have any privilege and always was treat as a temp whenever they needed to cut hours, I was the one getting the oppression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The privilege of one is the oppression of other is the overall concept I got from this reading. White privilege is one of the concepts that stood out to me. My definition of privilege I will say is like a free grant, is something you might or might not deserve but is there for you regardless just because you are part of certain group. On the other hand, oppression is unjust treatment or control to certain groups or people like Afro-Americans, Latinos or any minority group. It can also be defined as mental pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Honestly watching the video open my eyes in many ways from the point of view of being privilege but also being oppress and not only me but the different cultures that experience it. The video impacted me and my view of many things. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what ways do you experience privilege?
