Week 3

I enjoyed both articles as they can really bring to light how privileged I am from something I had no choice in being.  Peggy McIntosh's article had a couple things that were a bit of a stretch in privileged but for the most part I can see how the things she listed can be privilege.  Guillermo Gomez-Pena's article was very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed how he talks about being an outsider can make things difficult but not impossible.  He shows how it is possible to make it even if his skin is a different color and isn't considered privileged. Growing up I was never really taught about my privileges of being a white male, it was just sort of learned throughout my life that some people have more advantages than others just based off skin color and gender.
