I don’t want my white privilege.

All safety and comfort that I currently enjoy has been at the expense of those who  have a different cultural heritage than I.  I do not want to benefit from this, but it is impossible not to.  Walking alone in a suburb late at night, an officer is more likely to say “are you ok” not “what is your business here”.  I feel guilt and don’t know how to address the problem.
