| Adam went through life casually, not recognizing that his white privilege may have been helping him in life. His first encounter was when he got a job on campus over a close friend, Jordan. Adam knew that Jordan was more qualified for the job, had a better resume, and more available hours. Jordan was also black. Jordan was not happy that Adam got the job and told Adam that it was because of his race. Adam considered this when he really thought about the job and Jordan's abilities. Adam began to feel guilty for getting the job over Jordan and considered quitting when he started in a few days. When Jordan stopped speaking to Adam, Adam got upset. He started blaming Jordan for the problem and became more resolute in taking the job. |
