Is the USA Designed to Privilege White People?

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, Peter Boghossian asked five people to consider the claim, “The US is designed to privilege white people.” Peter was the only white person participating in the conversation.

There was widespread agreement with the claim among the participants. They cited various systems that participate in racism against blacks, including policing, the judicial and university system, and the overall way that resources are distributed. The participants were candid in their assessments of race relations and shared views on racial stereotypes, the sources of racial animosity, and the particular problem of “white women.”

At the end of the conversation, Peter asks the group how white people could alleviate the expressed grievances.
