In ‘’Understanding White Privilege’’ is written by Jack Coyle I agree that Native Americans,African American, Latino, and Asian people get treated differently than the “White”. What I like about this writing because it calls out the injustice that people of color have had to deal with since they have been taken over by the ‘’White’’.

I totally agree with all of the points that Jack Coyle was making. I am ‘’White’’, Latina, Native American and Black. Over the summer I got accused of stealing this woman’s soda out of a vending machine.The woman was crazy she was reaching for me trying to grab me out of the car. I thank my mom for not letting that woman lay a finger on me. The woman was using my skin tone aganist me. I know that it is not a big deal like Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin but it still is not right. I think that articals like this will bring better awearness to people.
