Well done! As a white man who grew up in the American South, I cannot take exception to your premise. White privilege abounds, but there is also a caste system within that privilege.

I'm not sure that we can categorically equate white racism with enslavement of blacks; English law allowed for the enslavement of "any sturdy beggar" during Henry VIII's reign. Can you perhaps explore the elaborate social hierarchies that exist within white society?
