institutional privilege

A new thought: maybe instead of talking about institutional racism we should change our terminology and start talking about institutional privilege.

I've been thinking a lot these days about how it's a question of priority - I want to change tactics and start drawing attention to how institutions prioritize the needs or desires of certain groups or individuals over others based on their culture/race/ethnicity.

We are never going to completely remove systems of power, but power should be used on behalf of and for all.
