Recognizing that you&#x27;re accidentally&#x2F;subliminally sexist or racist is good. But you should also recognize that those have had an effect on the world, and knowingly attone by spending some of your privilege.  A sudden self awareness that leads to just a blog post isn&#x27;t really anything special.  A sudden self awareness that leads to action is meaningful.<p>(before I get asked &quot;what was my action&quot;, I&#x27;m still trying to figure out how to spend my privilege for others benefit in a way that&#x27;s more than just donating money to appropriate causes - which I already do. I&#x27;m not thinking big enough yet.)
