White Privilege

The interview with Bill O'Reilly and the discussion we had in class made me really think about how there is white privilege in America that is a factor in why there are less people of minorities succeeding in America.  Coming from a Mexican family, I see how hard it is for my parents to make money when they are working harder than some other privileged beings.  My father works in construction 10 hours a day and making only enough money to pay for rent each month.  Then there are the privileged people who work less hours but somehow make more than my father.  I see this as an example of how there still is white privilege in America and although there is no more slavery or Jim Crow or segregation, there is still the inequality in our society that factors into a person's success in America.
