white privilege  

Definition

  • White privilege refers to a certain set of rights, advantages, exemptions, or immunities available primarily to White persons of European ancestry. The degree to which such privilege is available to be enjoyed may depend on the particular government's social, cultural, political, and economic context in operation at the time.
