11. Fairness  The “Invisible Backpack”  Peggy McIntosh (1989): As a white person, I realized I had been taught about racism as something which puts others at a disadvantage, but had been taught not to see one of its corollary aspects, white privilege, which puts me at an advantage.  Cultural Capital  Privilege  Other-ness

12. Cultural Capital  Bourdieu (1986): Forms of knowledge, skills, education, and advantages that a person has, which give them a higher status in society.  Parents provide their children with cultural capital by transmitting the attitudes and knowledge needed to succeed in the current educational system

13. Privilege & Otherness  Advantage or entitlement given to or accrued by a social group  The group will often view their social, cultural, and economic experiences as a norm that everyone should experience or aspire to, rather than as an advantaged position that must be maintained at the expense of others  Other = people not in the group

14. What’s in the Backpack? 1. I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time. 2. I can avoid spending time with people whom I was trained to mistrust and who have learned to mistrust my kind or me. 3. If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area which I can afford and in which I would want to live. 4. I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me. 5. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed. 6. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented. 7. When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is. 8. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race. 9. If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege. 10. I can be pretty sure of having my voice heard in a group in which I am the only member of my race. http://sociology.wetpaint.com/page/Social+Privilege
