Defined as â??the tendency of whites not to think about whiteness or about norms, behaviors, experiences or perspectives that are white-specific,â? the transparency phenomenon of white privilege has negatively impacted the conversations about race, minority and ethnicity issues on campus. This obliviousness to white privilege, and the ignorance towards the role that race plays in the daily lives of minorities, has created the belief that a significant amount of the minorities on campus were admitted solely to reach racial goals.
