Circumstances and Choices

Question 1 • CA-Ethnic Studies

Which scenario is an example of White privilege?

Answer
A
when a company only interviews people with White-sounding names
B
when a company creates an employee-led council for diversity
C
when a company advertises itself as a Black-owned business
D
when a company only does performance reviews once a year

Explanation

White privilege refers to unearned advantages White people may receive because of their race. A company that interviews only people with White-sounding names gives applicants perceived as White an advantage and excludes others. The other choices describe diversity efforts, business ownership, or a review schedule, not an advantage based on being White.
