chosen.content: The root of white privilege and racism is complex and tied to power and historical oppression. White people, as a historically privileged group, have benefitted from systems of oppression, which have granted them access to resources that other racial or ethnic groups were prevented from accessing. This legacy leads to systemic, unconscious biases as well as overt acts of racism, that are reinforced by societal norms. As a result, white people often fail to recognize, understand, or acknowledge their own racism.

rejected.content: White people can be racist for multiple reasons. One reason is historical. White people have held institutional power and control for many years, and this has allowed them to benefit from systems that perpetuate inequality and oppress people of color. Additionally, some white people may feel that their privileges will be taken away if people of color have greater access and opportunities. In addition, white people may feel threatened by the progress and advancement of people of color. Racism is often used as a way to assert power and control in societies that are structured around a racial hierarchy. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that some white people may have racist tendencies.
