I've read extensively on the subject, taken " Ethnic America" classes women's studies,?and world literature classes; Im naturally curious; but learning about privilege-- how deep it runs and how it supports our economy in certain ways-- that took a while, the deeper you deep the issue is revealed to be be more complex and a large part of culture.


I other words, I cared enough about the topic to try to learn and grow. If someone doesn't care? They're not going to look past the superficial. And you don't need to study to recognize privilege; it's everywhere. The denial is out of fear and anger. Sometimes unfortunately, and perhaps more common than is sometimes apparent it comes out of genuine, unapologetic racism or misogyny
