In her essay about white privilege, Peggy McIntosh discusses what she terms the “myth of meritocracy” and conferred dominance that is inherent in our culture. It is typically reiterated within the culture of the United States that only those who have been formally educated can achieve status. One advantage group of dominance that I fit into on our chart of Intersectional Identity is that of an educated person. Up to this point have completed some college which based on United States culture, allows me to enjoy some of degree of what Peggy McIntosh has called, “unearned entitlement.” People who are in college or have earned a degree enjoy the following privileges that those who have not, do not:
ReplyDelete1. Free stuff (T-shirts, food)
2. Discounts (events, restaurants, etc.)
3. Better job opportunities
