The document discusses the author's research into white privilege and how their perspective changed. Initially, the author did not believe they experienced much privilege as a white college student. However, after reading multiple peer-reviewed sources that defined white privilege in different contexts, the author realized white privilege exists and affects their life more than they realized. They learned that as a white person, they do not have to worry about facing discrimination daily or being viewed as inferior due to their race. Overall, the research opened the author's eyes to how white privilege operates in subtle ways and has broader historical and social implications beyond just access or benefits.
