What the paper also exposes is the fact that most white privilege is not intentionally ignored by those receiving it, but rather they have been brought up in a system that has taught them not to see it. This idea is established when Peggy McIntosh writes “They take both active forms which we can see and embedded forms which as a member of the dominant group one is taught not to see”(McIntosh). As a member of the dominant group I can agree with this idea. During any one of the examples of privilege described in the paper, to which I experience on a daily basis, I rarely stop to thinking to why I am being afforded
