White Privileges

             "What is the White Privilege" is an article in the San Antonio Current arguing about the privileges whites get over other ethnicities. The author argues that whites don't always realize it, but they get privileges that other races at many times don't. Different races get looked at differently in many ways compared to whites because whites have this thing to them that makes them seem like the ideal americans. This article is probably intended for those who believe in race discrimination because typically in America whites are favored politically and other races not as much. 

        The author's article is credible because recent political issues are included to support his argument that whites are more privileged than other races in this nation. The two examples that the author included were the Zimmerman trial and Texas voting rights both of which deal with whites. Voting rights are a great of example of a white receiving more privileges than others because historically speaking at a point only white men were allowed to vote. Not only does the author provide recent issues that deal with race privileges, but also that whites tend to be perceived as these ideal, hard-working americans. Other races do not get the same amount of praise like the whites do. I agree with the article in many ways because as a hispanic living in Texas I sometimes feel like I get treated differently than whites in certain places and feel like they look down on me at many times.
