Harewood explains the “biggest misconceptions” about privilege as she gives Corden – and the white community at large – a very important lesson (via toofab)
During the 5-minute bit, in which Corden appeared ignorant to his passive role in racial injustice, Harewood explained how the host and other people in the white community can use their privilege for good.
"You have an amazing tool to help fight structural racism. The tool that you have is so powerful, you're probably not even aware of it," said Harewood, telling him it had nothing to do with his celebrity status, platform or"charisma," but instead his privilege."Having privilege isn't your fault.
Exclaiming that he hates racism and admitting to having"a very charismatic white privilege" himself, Harewood explained that, because of it, Corden wouldn't have to deal with being racially profiled, turned down for a bank loan because of the color of his skin ... or ever be"a minority at your workplace so you have to explain privilege to people you work with."
"I'm the worst. I am so stupid! I'm the problem! I'm the problem!" Corden continued, as Harewood laid out what he can do to use his privilege to help others.
