In the McIntosh (2009) reading, the author discusses the nature of white privilege as having an invisible knapsack and even likens it to male privilege. As the reading progresses, McIntosh then argues that actually, the word privilege is misleading because it does not take into account whether such privilege (power) is earned. In fact, such privilege that is unearned is simply conferred dominance. Therefore, McIntosh is arguing that white privilege is what?
a. Earned privilege
b. Earned white (racial) dominance
c. Conferred privilege
d. Conferred white (racial) dominance
