Question.1575 - Considering all racial and ethnic groups – white, Black, Native American, Asian – which group has benefitted the most from government programs and largesse throughout American history? Explain how? Browse this article Actions written by Peggy McIntosh, the Associate Director of the Wellesley College Center for Research on Women. (You might notice that McIntosh is writing to her peers, a white audience, in this article.) McIntosh writes, "It seems to me that obliviousness about white advantage, like obliviousness about male advantage, is kept strongly enculturated in the United States so as to maintain the myth of meritocracy, the myth that all democratic choice is equally available to all." Paraphrase what she is saying. Pick from her list, one of the 26 instances of white advantage or privilege that is close to your experience, or far from your experience.
