Last night our co-founder @Leyyax attended a Diwali celebration hosted by @cntraveller with author @poornabell at @TheSavoyLondon. The event was a testament to what happens when South Asian women are placed in a position of leadership: Representation. #Representationmatters (1/4)

White-passing privilege only exists because a white-supr*macist system puts whiteness at the centre of power, while people of the global majority, particularly in the West, are marginalised and minoritised. #DiversityDictionary #WhitePassing #WhitePassingPrivilege

It’s important not to over-simplify the complexities of passing as white. White-passing privilege is not the same as white privilege. This is explored in films like Passing (@Netflix adaptation of 1929 novel by Nella Larsen) and novels like The Vanishing Half by @britrbennett

These benefits vary from ease of access to education, job opportunities, and elite sections of society, to being able to enter a shop without being followed by a security guard or drive a car without being racially profiled by the police.

White-passing privilege is when a person of the global majority is able to access some of the benefits that white people have access to, within a white-supr*macist society.
