Privilege

Something that bothers me is the concept of privilege. And the lack of acceptance around one's privileged position. We are quick in pointing out our marginalized position in society and the consequences of it. We often see ourselves as victims, but we are hesitant in accepting the fact that we are not marginalized all the time.

This sounds all very abstract. I guess I am talking about my experiences as a coloured women living in a " multicultural society". In order to be a better human being, I am going to start off by acknowledging my points of privilege:

1. Being a student & having access to education
2. Living in Canada & having the government respect my basic rights

That's all I can think of right now. So now what happens after I acknowledge my points of privilege? Acting on it to do something meaningful, I think.
