Whiteness History Month, Portland Community College

Portland Community College hosted "Whiteness History Month," featuring lectures on the social construction of whiteness. A professor defines "white privilege" as a set of institutional benefits granted to those who resemble people in power. The segment also references James Baldwin's quote that "being white means never having to think about it," while the hosts question the academic validity of these definitions.
