I had the same dilemma in Glasgow when I arrived this week!

It's part of the invisible knapsack that McIntosh and others write of. As a first-generation, working class, English language learning son of immigrants, there were many parts of the college experience that I was shielded of due to the color of my skin. This piece takes a very narrow view.

Things like being excluded from study groups based on race. Or being assumed that they are on campus as part of "the help" rather than being a student. Or worse, that they are on campus due to a compensatory program. these psychosocial factors have an effect on students.

Two things can be true at the same time: 1) Higher ed must do better to support working class students 2) white working-class students do benefit from some white privilege. Compare the experiences of students of color to white working class students and we see that white privilege exists here.

Thanks for the reply!
