Kojo Idrissa @Transition Not Just Oregon 15 Californa—>US: Chinese Exclusion
Act
Kojo Idrissa @Transition Not Just Race/Ethnicity 16 • Women’s Sufferage:
1920
Kojo Idrissa @Transition – @JustSlyRed “Privilege isn’t wealth or having
it easy: it’s what you don’t have to deal with.” 17
Kojo Idrissa @Transition – @marlenac “Privilege is a spectrum and
not a binary-- @nodebotanist at #npmCamp” 18
Kojo Idrissa @Transition – @RaeBeta “White people who've never had
bad experiences w/ cops: your experiences are products of racism & privilege, not virtue. #BlackLivesMatter” 19
Kojo Idrissa @Transition The Point? • Institutionalized Bias is real
• That bias creates privilege on multiple axes 20
Kojo Idrissa @Transition – @jaythenerdkid “one thing that makes privilege
so hard to dismantle is that the privileged don't realise they have it. it's invisible from the inside.” 21
Kojo Idrissa @Transition Visualizing Privilege: Personal Privilege Profile 22
Kojo Idrissa @Transition “External” Axes • Gender Identity • Sexual
Orientation • Maleness • Whiteness 23
Kojo Idrissa @Transition “Internal” Axes • Family: Edu. Background •
2.5 points for each college- educated parent or grandparent • Family: Wealth • Approximating “national median wealth percentile” 24
