The essay Unpacking the Invisibly Knapsack by Peggy McIntosh, publish in 1988, is an oft quoted source of supposed instances of white privilege. In this podcast I work through her 47 instances of white privilege and give my opinion on what I think if each. I try and work them into 4 basic categories:
- Is white privilege
- Isn't white privilege
- Is racism downgraded to white privilege
- Is just the experience of being a minority in a population and not race related at all
