"White privilege?"

We live in a multi-cultural society where many high achievers are not of European ancestry.

Race has nothing to do with skin color.

In fact the word "race" comes from the Latin word "rax" which means "root."

Defining people as black, white, brown, etc., might be convenient, but it ignores who they really are.

I do not identify as "white."

My father's family came from Italy; my mother's family apparently is Irish (Both Green and Orange).

Rather than focus on race to solve the ills of society, why not take a hard look at socio-economic class?
