And like we were talking about earlier, like it's some of both here. Like, I don't want to say that, you know, there aren't any wealthy white women who, you know, are quite advantaged in our system.

And, you know, like even for me is, you know, like as a Jewish person, you know, that like there's still anti-Semitism in the US, you know, so like you for me, you know, that it's not that I'm the most advantaged person in all of America. You know, I think the way I've come to see it is, you know, that I can acknowledge that

You know, I think the way I've come to see it is, you know, that I can acknowledge that

overall, the system favors me, even if it doesn't favor me absolutely in every situation, more than any other person on the planet. And so very wealthy white women are in that category of highly advantaged folks. I chose to talk about wealthy white men in my work because I feel like there's not a lot of wealthy white men who are willing to take that on. And

And what I found across differences is that if you're a wealthy white woman, you still don't necessarily feel safe going for a run at night. Or if you're a wealthy black man, you still might be afraid that a cop is going to pull you over and something's going to happen to you.

So there's this complexity where even folks who are advantaged in a number of ways, if you're missing even one of those advantaged identity markers, it's going to impact your experience a lot. So how do we acknowledge that?

I think the best way I can think of how to describe it is, you know, when you look at who... You know, who holds wealth and power in our society? You're going to see a lot more a lot more white women in those positions than black folks, for example. And then also, when you look at people's political preferences, it's really interesting that if if you think of.

you know, conservatives and progressive as, you know, not saying that one is better than the other, but that if progressive is about, you know, changing society dramatically, you know, and conservative is about conserving society the way it is, you know, it's interesting that, you know, white men as a group, not everybody, but white men as a group are the most politically conservative.

Black women are the most politically progressive, you know, so I think there's something about, you know, how people... really vote in ways that suggest that in order for people from different groups to feel like they can succeed in America, there's different viewpoints about how much society needs to change. Is there one of these you think that's moving quicker and gaining momentum?

It's so complicated because there's so much moving forward and backwards all the time. And we're in a very strange time in America. When you look at racial justice, for example, the nullification of race-based affirmative action as a big step backward. On the gender front, the Roe versus Wade is seen by many as a big step backward. And then you have this bizarre...

counter-reality where policies like reparations are gaining traction in California and cities like Evanston, Illinois, in ways that have never been seen before. And I think that's one of the really interesting things about this country is that America is a deeply racist and anti-racist country.
