Über diesen Titel

White privilege has emerged at the forefront of conversations about race and equity, but what does it really mean when we consider it as a political frame? In this first episode of our series, we’re diving deep into the multifaceted nature of white privilege, a term that not only reveals systemic inequalities but also challenges us to rethink our understanding of merit and fairness in society.
The story of white privilege isn’t new; it gained ground particularly in the late 20th century thanks to influential scholars like Peggy McIntosh. Her iconic 1988 essay, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack," brilliantly illuminated how unearned advantages are often taken for granted by white individuals. Imagine starting a race with a ten-second head start—this metaphor perfectly encapsulates what McIntosh sought to unveil: the invisible systems that allow white individuals to advance more easily in society.
