But I would say that in a place where white people have privilege purely based on the colour of their skin with an absence of any other significant privilege like being in a majority, or wealth, it would require the race who are in the majority to be racist in favour of white people.
Quote:Otherwise why would the majority give white people privilege unless they could take it by force, pay for it or earn it in some way.White privilege -is- the lasting consequence of considerable force, and it has not always been extended to all those we might find "white" today. It's also a consequence of less destructive behaviors, like cultural and civic solidarity, albeit with a myopic view.
