Privilege
Privilege is the systemic effect observed at the individual and social level where differential treatment and/or access to resources is due to socially-constructed positionality. - The HUB
Examples of Privilege
- White privilege explains how "white people are, through racialization [prioritization of skin color arising from racism], advantaged by their skin colour even in the event of economic disadvantage." - Race Forward [1]
- Able-bodied privilege is "living under the assumption that everybody else on earth can speak, hear, see, and get around, more-or-less the same way we do, with a similar amount of ease." - Kate Harveston [2]
