multiple choice 5 points
which of the following is an example mcintosh gives of white privilege?
feeling safe shopping in most stores
being able to vote without restriction
being guaranteed a high - paying job
access to free healthcare

Explanation:

• In her work, Peggy McIntosh discussed that white privilege is often invisible to those who have it as it is an unearned advantage that is taken for granted.
• For the second question, McIntosh gave the example of feeling safe shopping in most stores as a form of white privilege. Voting without restriction is a right (though historically there were restrictions based on race but in modern - day general sense, it's more of a citizenship right), being guaranteed a high - paying job is not a universal white privilege claim in her work, and access to free healthcare is not typically her example.

Answer:

1. Invisible to those who have it
2. Feeling safe shopping in most stores
