Tim Wise: White Privilege

In critical race theory, white privilege is a set of advantages that some say are enjoyed by white people beyond those commonly experienced by non-white people in the same social, political, and economic spaces. Theorists differentiate it from racism or prejudice because they say, a person who may benefit from white privilege is not necessarily racist or prejudiced and may be unaware of having any privileges reserved only for whites.

Research: People Share More Information with Colleagues of Similar Cultural Backgrounds

Imagine you are a member of a purchasing team. Your manager sets a goal: she wants everyone on your team to make at least one deal with a supply company of their choice. You end up signing a deal with a supplier who offers a great price, but — unbeknownst to you — is infamously slow to deliver. One of your colleagues has worked with them before, but the two of you haven’t been communicating much with each other, so he fails to advise you against it. Because you never receive this vital information, your performance suffers.

Generations at Work: What Are We Really Talking About?

Generations at Work: What Are We Really Talking About?
