Preach it.

White privilege was so glaringly obvious to me when I got to America, because while this country kinda hates all immigrants, you can basically sit back and watch the weird-ass dynamics unfold as you learn enough English and all of a sudden teachers and employers love the nice little white girl you are (too bad about your accent, but close!), and condescend to the minority students and scoff at them behind their backs. And you're like, "oic."

And yeah I just had this fight with my mom because she was telling me how'd she fix her depression and panic if she were me. I just walked away, she's a pretty insensitive person.
