White privilege is reading a book and not having to hear a character be described as “ebony”, “olive”, “tanned” skinned or anything else to naturally assume that the character resembles you or is relatable.

I’m going on vacation next week. I’ll be spending everyday at the beach so I need some good things to read. I’m also going to be hanging out with my grandma, so they need to be grandma appropriate books. I’m currently reading Katie Roiphe’s The Morning After (Complete bullshit but good for historical purposes) and Grassroots: a Field Guide for Feminist Activism to counteract the bullshit. Does anyone have any suggestions of good, easy, reads?

Thanks, ya’ll
