“Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we just don’t care if they are? I’ve heard rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much?”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“White privilege is an absence of the consequences of racism. An absence of structural discrimination, an absence of your race being viewed as a problem first and foremost.”

― Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

“All men were born in the same way: no privilege existed that was not of man's own contriving.”
― Winston Graham, Ross Poldark
