Peak White Male Privilege - Trump and Johnson

Emily Peck asks in her HuffPost article, "Is there no limit to what rich white guys can get away with?"

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson certainly give us a bird's eye view to the privilege that people on the top of our hierarchies have, and also have the ability to exploit.

"We’ve known for a long time that men — especially rich white men — are held to different standards than everyone else, but never has the difference been so nakedly clear."

"Could you imagine a woman or man of color getting away with any of that?" Of course not, they  never could. 

"Johnson and Trump are extreme examples of what male privilege lets guys get away with," said Jennifer Lawless, a politics professor at the University of Virginia.
