Are all people racist?
The other day in class we talked about the idea that all people who benefit from white privilege are racist. I do not believe this is true. I agree with what was said in class that some people are naive and do not even realize they have advantages in society because of white privilege. I feel that others may realize they receive advantages but they know it is not right and want change. I personally would not consider these people racist either. I feel that those who benefit and do not see this as unjust or any sort of problem may be considered racist to some degree. Ashley Allen, Post 15
