Also I think when people hear about it they automatically assume that it means society just goes “oh you’re white, why here’s a million dollars!” And certainly things like that happen (I know some people personally who have absolutely failed upwards as a result of nepotism)

But it also works in more insidious ways, like cops fucking with you less, maybe you get a lighter sentence on something or just spend a night in jail where a poc would probably do real time, maybe people just treat you better or you are more likely to be chosen for a job (I personally experience this pretty commonly).

Even for poor people like me, It’smore a lot of little benefits that add up to a even bigger advantage, and then yeah there’s also increased likelihood of generational wealth just by virtue of being born white (when I say little benefits here I don’t mean to diminish how profound effect they can have on someone’s life, I just mean relative to more overt stuff people would typically think, like the example I gave earlier of just being handed 1m bucks or having mom and dad buy you a house or whatever)
