This workbook is for you too, however your experience of doing this work will be very different to the experiences of white people who are not biracial, mixed race or people of colour. While you may receive the so-called “benefits” of white privilege, that
does not mean you have had the same experiences as a white person. You might have white parent(s) or other ancestors. Or you may not be white at all, but instead be a person of colour who is very light-skinned, white passing or white adjacent. Your white privilege
does not erase your other identities. And so while it is important for you to do the work to address your internalised white supremacy, you may need to adjust the questions to more appropriately fit your experiences as a person who holds white privilege, but
is not white.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">

is also important to know that this work will also bring up some challenging feelings around your internalised oppression against yourself, your family members, your marginalised identities, and about how you have also been oppressed by a system that only
benefits you to the extent that you are able to ‘present’ or ‘pass’ as white, and be anti-black.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">

work will likely bring up many conflicting emotions including shame, confusion, fear, anger, remorse, grief, and anxiety. This work may bring up dynamics that have caused you or others harm in your family relationships, your friendships, your romantic relationships
or work relationships. Please prioritise your self-care as you move through this work. Do not use it as an excuse to not do the work in a substantial way, but at the same time honour yourself and the different feelings that show up around your identities.
Do not use this work as a stick to beat yourself with. But rather, use it to interrogate your complicity within a system of privilege that is only designed to benefit you to the extent that you can conform to the rules of whiteness.</span></p>
