Our new question is this: In the years since McIntosh published "White Privilege" she has noted that she wishes she would have included the need for intersectionality in our discussions of privilege because many of her examples also assume the perspective of the middle class. Intersectionality is the idea that individuals' experiences of privilege and/or disadvantage differ depending on where their identity is located "at the intersection" of several aspect of identity. For example, a black woman from the upper class has different experiences from a black man from the lower class because the experience of racism is different depending on other factors such as class and gender. Why do you think it is important to consider the many aspect of an individual's identity when we talk about privilege and disadvantage?
