Explanation / Answer
White privilege refers to both overt and covert passive, societal advantages that white people may not recognize they have, which distinguishes it from overt bias or prejudice. Several theorists have argues that an individual's "whiteness" has historically been treated more as a form of property or as an object which has intrinsic value that must be protected by social and legal institutions. For instance, laws and mores concerning race (such as apartheid and Jim Crow constructions that legally permit the separation different races and allow social prejudices against interracial relationships) serve the purpose of retaining certain advantages and privileges for whites. These advantages appear to have grown with time as discrimination and prejudice can still be observed in professional, educational, and personal contexts.
