WHTIE PRIVILEGE (CH. 1-3)

White Privilege defines race as "some intrisically insignificant geographical/physical differences between". It also said that "whites" are not of a certain race and that they are just the "human race". The reading states that whites are the people and the ones that are of a different color are something else "the other". It makes me upset when it talks about how the whites are over the other races: "white people have power and believe that they think, feel and act like and for all people; white people, unable to see their particularity , cannot take account of other peoples; white people creatre the domminant image of the world and dont quite see that they thus construct the world in thier own image. Whitie people set standards of humanity by which they are bound to succeed and others bound to fail". Even tho this is true in some cases it still upsets me beacause in my family we have blacks and chineese that have married in but we dont treat them liek we are better we welcome them as a part of the family.
