[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1726856, member: 18225"] White people are often unaware about the inherent structures of our society that demean and demoralize and disenfranchise other people who aren't white, because they never have cause to navigate those 'racial-back-streets'. White people are often surprised when non-white people take offense about one thing or another, because whatever that thing is, it's likely something the white person took for granted, never thought about, didn't realize, had no experience with, etc. White privilege ([SIZE=3][I]active and passive advantages white people don't recognize they have[/I][/SIZE]) is real. I'm quite sure anyone on this forum would react in a highly negative fashion to an obviously racist person, but it's the subtle racism that is the most invasive and damaging. You asked. [/QUOTE]
