Here I discuss student reactions in the past to Peggy McIntosh’s 1989 article on “White Privilege.” Some students have said that this article is out of date and does not really apply to today. Or is that reaction just a dodge to avoid recognizing the reality of white privilege? Such avoidance may actually “prove” McIntosh’s case. Make sure you supply her definition of white privilege in your Reflection post, as you answer all of the rubric questions for this assignment.
