Long Answer

1. McIntosh supports her argument that white privilege is often invisible to those who possess it by providing a list of 26 everyday advantages that she, as a white person, experiences. These examples illustrate how white privilege operates in subtle ways that are often overlooked or taken for granted by those who benefit from it. She also discusses how white people are taught not to recognize white privilege, which contributes to its invisibility, its power, and its persistence. (Paragraphs 1-8; numbered list)
