Standard indicators that students may hold white privilege include but are not limited to:"[T]he lateness reflection my race"?
-I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.-I can avoid spending time with people whom I was trained to mistrust and who have learned to mistrust my kind or me.-I can be late to a meeting without having the lateness reflection my race.-I can choose blemish cover or bandages in “flesh” color and have them more or less match my skin.

I googled her and saw a bunch of her wedding photos from a month ago. Her whole social set reeks of white privilege. Not a dark face in the bunch. The whole wedding party took a cruise from Sausalito on the San Francisco bay. It looked expensive, the sort of thing that people of color can only dream about.
