A word used to describe someone who is usually in a position of power and authority who either uses racism for their own benefit or is unaware of their own racist tendencies. Using racism for benefit employs inequality to justify inequality, and while the denial of such is also regarded as a privilege, it is not used pejorativly and so it is never used. One who is unaware usually needs to be educated on racism and cultural competency, compared to one who knows and does not employ such tactics. Additionally, it is used in reference to systems of oppression with the exception of being addressed in a fair and equitable manner, because people want a share of the inequality pie. People who pejoratively address privilege often are a symptom of the bigger system of oppression that is racism in an increasingly intersectional society.
