I believe the term "white privilege" is counter productive to race relations as it has a negative/accusatory tone and many people think it suggests whites are being granted something that should be taken away from them. However, it seems to me that the issue is actually the opposite, that people of color (POC) are being discriminated against and not provided things they have a right to (i.e., we want to lift everyone up, not drag whites down). Therefore, to me a more appropriate term would be "POC disadvantage".
1) Do you agree that the term white privilege is antagonistic?
2) Would it be appropriate to replace the term white privilege with POC disadvantage? If not why not?
