Being white does not seem to be offensive to anyone. However, it is true that being white privilege has been the center of much criticism as it is a type of unearned advantage associated with being white that is not afforded to other racial groups. It may seem odd that simply having white skin, or not being a person of color, is seen as offensive to some people, but it highlights how systemic racism continues to exist in our society and how some people benefit from unfair advantages simply because of the color of their skin.

For many people, being white can be a privileged identity. Therefore, identifying as white in some contexts can be offensive if it is seen as ignoring systemic advantages that come along with whiteness. Being white is often associated with privilege, so many people find it offensive when white people deny the privilege or benefit from systemic advantages associated with whiteness without recognizing it.
