I’d like to return my white privilege.

Danielle Blixt,
Riverside, CA.

Although my heritage is Lebanese, Costa Rican and German, to the outside world I look white. I recognize and accept that going into an interview I have an upper hand. I understand that when I walk into a restaurant no one is thinking I am up to not good or that I cannot pay my bill at the end of dinner. No one sees me and is scared of me because of the color of my skin. I recognize I have white privilege however, I do not want it and I am ashamed that people have to feel scared to walk in a room and feel less than because they are not white.
