People just being angry that this article exists is a great example of some of the things you’re talking about. These same people most likely don’t consider themselves racist in the least. I suppose privilege is looking at all these topics through the lens of their/our own experiences rather than being empathetic and understanding of other lived experiences.

“Nobody bothers black people on the trail”

“These problems arent real”

“They said something about whiteness. This is offensive”

All great examples of whiteness. All great examples of how systemic racism is alive and well.

I pass as white. I see all these privileges. I’m quite sure I participate in all these problems in ways I can’t see. But to just laugh of lived experiences of marginalized people because we haven’t experienced them ourselves is quite awful.
