Q After reading "Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" (see link above), explore how it relates to chapter two's content on White Ethnics (European Immigration in the 19th/20th centuries). How did the process of European assimilation patterns eventually create concepts of privilege in the U.S.? How does the definition of White Privilege, established in "Knapsack" coincide or dispute definitions you may have heard before? How do you identify with Peggy McIntosh's perspective on the subject?

The information, which has been gained from the European immigration during the 19/20th century has helped in developing an evident connection with the male privilege as discussed in the article. McIntosh (1989) has underpinned that male privilege can be recognized with White privilege that emanated during the immigration episode. Healey & Stepnick (2020) has helped in comprehending a matter that when this immigration took place an unsaid and invisible difference got surfaced in America which eventually became explicit. It was never told and written in the system to look down upon on other ethnicities or culture but due to the contact situation as explained by Noel’s hypotheses it existed and prevailed rather still exists.
