Peggy McIntosh discusses the concept of white privilege through her own experiences as a white woman. She realized that as a white person, she was taught about racism as disadvantaging others but not about the invisible systems that confer dominance and advantage to white people. She provides 25 examples of daily effects of white privilege that she was able to take for granted but people of color could not, such as being able to buy skin-care products that match her skin tone or being able to criticize the government without being seen as a cultural outsider. She argues that acknowledging and addressing white privilege is necessary to dismantle systems of racial dominance and create a just society with equality for all.
