Why did two white guys from the suburbs decide to talk about white privilege for an hour? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Maybe you want a hint about what we talked about? Fair enough…

We begin by talking about when we first heard the term white privilege. From there, we move on to discussing if either of us have been accused of being privileged in any way…and how we reacted to it.

After that, we chat about if anyone’s actually leveled the term “white privilege” at us…of if we’ve ever been told to check our privilege in any way.

Then, the question that made Shawn think about this episode: does the idea of white privilege hold any weight for us?

Next, we talk about where the idea of white privilege originated, before moving on to the last two questions:

• Do we think we are guilty of any sort of privilege?
• Is “white privilege” a subtle (or not-so-subtle) form of racism?

If you’re a regular listener, you’ve probably noticed this episode contains about half the usual talking points we shoot for. It’s a much more conversational episode, and we hope you like it and take a moment to comment about the episode below…
