The concept of white culture and privilege is something that I think I've always known but did not have the words for until recently. The fact that I have to go out of my way to consume media that includes people that look like me and have the same experiences as me is something that felt heavier as I got older. Watching these videos, especially the Tedx Talk reminded me of the ways I am privileged (straight, cis-gendered) and the ways that I am not (Black, woman). It had me frustrated thinking about the ways I have to navigate the world every day and how white people don't even have to give a thought to some of the things I worry about.
