How many types of "privilege" are there? (Question applies to United States only)
We all have heard about "white privilege" and "male privilege". Is that it, or is there more?
Can a black man have "American privilege" over a black man born and living in Africa? Can a black man have "male privilege" in the same manner, albeit maybe not the same degree, as a white man as suggested above?
If a white man has "male privilege", can a white woman have "female privilege", or can they not coexist?
Do adults have "adult privilege" over kids? Do smart people have "intelligence privilege" over dumb people? Do healthy people have "health privilege" over people with chronic illnesses?
What's the hierarchy of "privilege"? If you have an Asian, a black, a Hispanic, and a white (listed alphabetically), how would you rank their "privilege", most to least?
How would an Asian woman and a Hispanic man compare in relative "privilege?
Confusing, isn't it?
