i was thinking the same thing. If the list were called “Pitfalls of Working With White Liberal People” the list would be OK with me.

LOL... I just went to Buzzfeed and took the "Privilege Quiz". I only got 23 out of 100 and scored "underprivileged." Apparently most of what they call White Privilege is just spending your life amongst mostly white people and never knowing poverty.

But I haven't had that life and I'd bet a LOT of white people haven't. I grew up poor and joined the military. Now I work in the inner city. Yes, I've been called "the white girl," yes, I've had people want to touch my hair, yes I've had to be afraid to walk alone places. Yes I rode the bus, for years, yes I've been in debt, no, my parents couldn't help me... that is LIFE for pete's sake.
