Healthy Reactions to Privilege

This is an excellent explanation of privilege.

It’s not excellent at encouraging healthy reactions. I think healthy reactions are gratitude and humility for privileges we enjoy; and compassion and generosity for those without. I think unhealthy reactions are feeling shame or shaming others (or citing books with purported supernatural origins to empower that an agenda).

I also found it very telling that even when race and gender weren’t used in the demonstration, their association with privilege was quickly and clearly observable.
