As another lifelong beneficiary of white privilege, thank you for pointing this out. I never considered this perspective.

THIS!!! THIS IS WHY YOU NEED EDUCATION AND SAFETY! PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN AND DO BETTER!

Let me add one. People that don't look like us think before they speak in meetings. They are scrutinized constantly and often afraid. We can ask a colleague "hey not straight white guy, you're interested or expert in XYZ, and haven't shared your input, what do you think?"

Making space can be that micro and so impactful.
