Answer:

White Privilege

Step-by-step explanation:

Peggy McIntosh in her essay, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack", wrote about the hidden privileges that whites do have in society.

She asserts that white privilege is like an invisible package. These privileges are there in society but no one acknowledges it. These privileges are used every day as an unearned assets, meaning whites do not have to do much to earn these privileges compared to colored people in the society. Whites can count on (cashing) on these privileges.
