Privilege, especially male or white privilege, is difficult to note for those who were born with resources and power. However, it is noticeable for those to whom similar opportunities were not granted. Notably, talking about white privilege is a challenging aspect given that most white people do not perceive themselves as powerful or privileged(Kendall, 2012).
