Invisible Privilege

Privilege is often invisible because you cant always see if someone is living well or not, like if someone was driving a two thousand eleven mustang GT around you would know that, that person is privileged. If you just saw someone in a supermarket shopping you most likely wouldn’t know if there privileged or not by looking at someone. Black, and Hispanic people or lower class people are more likely to be aware of privilege because there the ones that are generally effected by it.  Andréa was so uncomfortable in jewels house because she was not use to the conditions they were living in such as the darkness of the apartment or the conditions of there bathroom. This frightened her because she grew up differently and this is simply an effect of race, gender, and class. It is difficult to over come such social differences but a lot of it truly in my opinion depends on what type of person you are inside, and if you can be understanding and accepting tp surroundings your not adjusted to. Funding for schools can be seen as an invisible privilege because in most towns the selection of students is based on there taxes and whether or not they live on the town of the school. People with more money generally get first choice in everything.
