Seeing it through a lens of knowledge means you can see the damage that privilege can do
White privilege is a huge underpinning factor in Trump’s language and the language of his supporters
It’s terrifying that privilege is being used in this way
Structural privilege is what allows this to happen
The group deciding who comes next are fairly wealthy, may have biases around race and can have empire-based thinking
It's not stewarding privilege its maintaining privilege
The survey asks people to answer consciously thinking about the questions
