In a certain way I feel both of the readings had connections with oppression. Although, one was about white privilege, however,white privilege is oppressive to minorities so that makes sense. What stood out to me the most is McIntosh not consciously realizing her white privilege until she sat down and wrote it out. As a minority I use to be confused when other minority people took offense to someone saying they don’t see color in a person. I would feel like it was harmless and they were essentially saying they view everyone equally. Now I kind of feel like people take offense because to say you don’t see color is to say you don’t recognize where and how you are privileged in the areas I am not. Taking away from the fact I have to try double as hard to prove I deserve it and only succeed half of the way or exhaust myself proving I am worthy of an opportunity you simply showed up and qualified for. I also found it interesting how Frye mentions the differences between unfortunate events and actually being oppressed kind of like some people want to be viewed as victims of oppression but are actually a part of an oppressive group themselves!!
