Did you see Sarah got signed to a modeling agency, she’s not even interested in modeling! It’s not fair that she has pretty privilege.

Get the Pretty Privilege mug.A phenomenon in which parents allow their younger children to participate in certain activities that they did not allow their older children to participate in when they were that age.
This is an example of Younger Sibling Privilege: When Johnny turned 16, his parents told him he could not work toward earning a drivers license. When his younger brother, Timmy turned 16, his parents registered him for driving school.

Get the Younger Sibling Privilege mug.The fact that white people may be at an advantage simply due to their skin colour than a non-white person with the same intellect, qualifications etc. It is worth noting that this is not a justification for the racism against white people collectively, but rather highlights that existence of a systematic, institutionalised racial hierarchy that is able to deprive non-white people from seizing opportunities that they rightfully deserve simply because of their complexion. White privilege does not mean that it is acceptable to hate white people, nor that white people must apologise for any achievements of theirs, nor that all non-whites deserve opportunities primarily before white people (this would be an example of racial privilege against whites).
"Brock Turner, who was arrested for rape, was released from prison after six months because of his good behaviour and the negative implications that a lengthier prison sentence would have on him as a young student."
"Don't other rapists normally get a longer, fairer sentence for the same crime?"
"Well... yes."
"MATE.... That's white privilege!"

Get the white privilege mug.An invisible package of unearned assets that whites can count on cashing in each day, but about which they are 'meant' to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools , and blank checks.
Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack of white privilege:
-I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.
-I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.
-When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
-I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.
-I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of color who constitute the world's majority without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.
-I can easily find academic courses and institutions which give attention only to people of my race.
-I can chose blemish cover or bandages in "flesh" color and have them more or less match my skin.
