Which of the following statements is not a rationalization for justifying individual racism?
a. "We have desegregation in the schools so all races have an equal opportunity to learn."
b. "They have Affirmative Action so they get jobs just by being Black and not because they are qualified."
c. "White people have unearned privileges in education and employment."
d. "There are more Black men in prison because they are just more violent."
C Correct Answer: "White people have unearned privileges in education and employment."
Feedback for Correct Answer: Many examples of white privilege as described by McIntosh (2001) are in large part the result of the privilege of being seen as an individual rather than as a member of a racial group. Acknowledging these privileges is a step in combating individual racism.
