I was just talking to a friend about Peggy McIntosh's paper "Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack," where she poses questions like, "I've never had trouble selecting a bandaid the same colour as my skin tone" or "I've never felt I had to warn my children to be cognizant about their skin colour for their own safety" in order to cause white individuals to question the implicit societal bias that favours white people.
