I can be pretty sure that wherever i move my neighbors will be neutral or pleasant to me. I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having co- workers suspect that i got it because of my race. I can turn on the tv and see people of my race widely represented. I can easily buy posters, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, and toys featuring people of my race. Intersectionality: race, gender, class, religion, age, sexual orientation.
