Some don't think about it, for others it's all they think.

The video was very interesting and I feel like a lot of people relate to it if they come from a minority. I relate to it. I know that because my parents are immigrants, we're Mexican, from the working class, and I am a first generation student, I don't have much of a chance for social mobility. I feel that this is also why my family always encourages me to get an education so I can succeed. Even then, however, my chances are really small.
Anyway, I also like the article about the bike because everyone has some sort of privilege and when people point it out we feel defensive. But reading it makes me realize that their only purpose is for us to be a bit more empathetic towards them like the article says. My dad is the choir's director at church and since I was around 9, I was in it. My dad, being a parent, was always so proud of my musical talent. A couple of years after I joined his choir, 3 girls my age joined (there was always around 20 other people in it). Every time there were solos in a song and it was time for him to assign it to someone, I knew he would ask me first to sing the part. I didn't feel so right singing the parts just because it was noticeable he always chose me first. I loved singing, don't get me wrong! And when I did I would get a lot of compliments from other people after mass. But I began to refuse to sing alone more and more as I grew older. There was this one time where one of the other girls my age was mad and started telling me not so nice things. Gaby (the girl) told me to shut up because I was daddy's little girl and I always got to sing the solos. I knew the girls thought that already but being told that directly didn't make me feel so good. Another of the girls who when she later became a close friend said that she also agreed with Gaby and didn't like me because I was "daddy's little girl". I knew I had some sort of privilege for being the director's daughter.
A recent example of privilege is Eric Garner's story. He (being a man of color) was choked to death just because he was breaking up a fight. He was non violently explaining what happened to the police and one of the officers just began choking him. Even though Garner was saying "I can't breathe," the police wouldn't stop. The case went to court and the police officer wasn't indicted. If Eric Garner had been white, he most likely wouldn't have gotten choked, or if so, at least the court wouldn't have ruled in favor of the white police officer.
