White privilege and male privilege: A personal account of coming to see correspondences through work in women’s studies.
This article is well written, and I agree with Peggy McIntosh. The reason I agree with her, is because I feel that caucasian males are in a position of unearned privilege. The reason I agree with this is because it has become apparent in the reading and upon reflection of my own life that the opportunities in life that McIntosh discuses have been made available because I am a white male. On the same hand this article is a bit outdated as it was written in the late 1980’s with the interview at the end being in 1989. I agree that as a whole society needs to improve the relations with everyone else but I believe this article is dated. I believe McIntosh is correct that society needs to be conscious of unearned privilege. I believe that some of the ways we are trying to correct the situation are not necessarily the best. The example that comes to mind is that native Canadians obtain free tuition and supports to obtain college and university degrees. While I understand and respect that every racial group need doctors, lawyers and a wide variety of professionals to put their group on equal footing. What I disagree with is the method. The method that is deployed is putting native students up there, while all other students are left paying astronomical fees. This in turn makes me want to question why other wronged groups such as black students because they were wronged or if you were the ancestor of an indentured servant you could argue that the rich white population kept your family under their economical thumb, therefore making you underprivileged as well. I believe all groups need to be treated equal and once you start attempting to fix the problem by giving others extras while leaving others behind it is still wrong on the same level. Blanket equality is what is needed.
