I am white and recently got a mammogram and a young black woman was getting more info and insurance, etc. She asked if I was Hispanic. I replied no and then she said "Oh, then you're American". THAT was a head scratcher! This race/gender thing is out of control. I suffer from the same white privilege as you. At 12, I babysat 6 kids for a quarter an hour and that was a good job!
