5: "Are you saying that white men have it easy? I don't feel privileged." from Bias Interrupted: Creating Inclusion for Real and for Good

This chapter acknowledges that white male privilege exists, regardless of the specific experiences of individual white men. However, certain issues, particularly regarding class and age, can also impact white men. First-generation college students, even if they are white men, often feel alienated from their more privileged colleagues; their values may not align, or they may feel they are not taken as seriously. It is important to discuss biases in social class as much as in race and gender, as neglecting this would undermine the overall goals of DEI by not considering the complete social picture. The author also suggests that age should be addressed to avoid ostracizing older working generations. At the end of the chapter, Williams stresses that even when including discussions on biases that can affect white men, there may still be backlash from this group when implementing DEI in the workplace. She asserts that if a company pulls back on these initiatives due to backlash, it shows a lack of genuine interest in incorporating these interventions and prevents them from reaping the comprehensive benefits of interrupting biases within their organization.
