I can drive wherever I want, whenever I want, and not get pulled over unless I'm actually breaking a law.
I can go into a store and not have security people swarming all over me as I browse.
I could (if I was ten years younger) stroll around a college campus and not have everyone assume that I was there on an athletic scholarship.
I can walk down the street and not have women clutch their purses tighter to them, or cross the street away from me, as I approach.
I don't have to worry about people "dumbing down" everything they say to me, so as not to "confuse" me with "big words."
Yes, I am truly lucky to be white.
