Invisible privilege

Privilege is often invisible because if you grow up having things and thinking of them as provided for you sometimes it is hard to image people not having them. The category of people most likely to be aware of privilege is the low income and people who grew up in a low income environment. Andrea was so uncomfortable because she was not aware up till that point that people can get along without things she has or with things being so bad. Yes people can overcome social differences, but it takes a lot of work because you are almost adapting to a different culture to do it. Funding for schools is an invisible privilege because people in the same income bracket tend to gather together and when they pay tax for the schools they pay more because they make more. This creates an imbalance in the funding a school system has and is what creates this invisible privilege. BY TYLER
