What do we mean by ‘whiteness’?
• A “location of structural advantage.” (Frankenberg, 1997)
• “Beliefs, values, behaviors, habits and attitudes, which result in the
unequal distribution of power and privilege.”
(http://www.ucalgary.ca/cared/whiteness)
• An ever-shifting category of being.
• Less about your skin color and more about the benefits you receive
conforming to those behaviors, values, and gestures.
