Response to “White Privilege and Interracial Relationships”

I think Chris’s post is really interesting, but it also makes me sad because it’s 2011 and there is still a stigma to interracial relationships, and it’s time people got over it. It’s also interesting to think about not only the privileges white people have, but situations in which they are taken away, and what Chris described with the bank is a great example. I feel that what happened to him and his wife was ridiculous and uncalled for. What surprises me even more, was the fact that the teller at the bank knew them, and decided not to cash those checks whenever Chris was alone or accompanying his wife.
