Share your tales or anecdotes which can be interpreted as white male privilege. Or if you aren't aptly described by those two terms, share stories which demonstrate the opposite. Please be honest.
Today, I was offered a job as a manager I was patronizing because a business owner needs "an Anerican who dresses nice to talk to the customers".
Today, I was given a 40% discount at a gas station where I bought a phone charger and invited behind the register to plug it in and grab some juice for my phone.
Today, I was given a free iced coffee and encouraged to try several flavors until I found the one I preferred at no cost, just because I asked for a pump of hazelnut.
Today, a wealthy white man shared intimate details of his family life with me after we discussed the results of the Midterm Elections and our understandings of the numbers and complex demographics issues behind the vote totals.
Your turn.
