 Race: “A socially constructed category for the purpose of controlling, dominating, and exploiting some for the benefit of others.”³⁸

 Racism: “Subordination of people of color by white people.”³⁹

 White(ness): “Inequality and privilege are the only real components of whiteness. Without racial privilege there is no whiteness, and without whiteness, there is no racial privilege. Being white means being advantaged to people of color, and pretty much only that.”⁴⁰

 White privilege: “A form of domination; hence it is a relational concept. It positions one person or group over another person or group. It is a concept of racial domination that enables us to see this relationship from the perspective of those who benefit from such domination.”⁴¹ “I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was ‘meant’ to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, assurances, tools, maps, guides, codebooks, passports, visas, clothes, compass, emergency gear, and blank checks.”⁴²
