Description
Privilege for Sale
Privilege is the benefits and advantages held by a group in power, or in a majority, that arise because of the oppression and suppression of minority groups. Examples of privilege include but are not limited to age, religion, ability, gender identity, race, class, sexuality, gender, and education. Understanding privilege requires an active effort to see things from the perspective of other, underprivileged people.
