I was seeking White privilege in America for the first 40 years of my life. White privilege is a term for societal privileges that benefit people identified as white in Western countries, beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. Two common examples would be having access to a higher education and premium housing. Privilege can also be emotional or psychological, regarding security, comfort and personal self-confidence, or having a sense of belonging or worth in American society.
