Chapter Two Bizarre Foods White Privilege and the Neocolonial Palate Casey Ryan Kelly [2.0] Whiteness, that invisible and unnamed center from which all others are marked with the category of race, can be best characterized as a space of abundance. From an unmarked position of whiteness flows the private accu- mulation of unearned and often unacknowledged privileges. As Peggy McIn- tosh so aptly observes, white privilege is like an “invisible knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools, and blank checks.” 1 Indeed, whiteness can produce a surplus of material and cultural capital, including the ability to navigate the world with ease, discern- ment, ethos, confidence, and relative comfort without the constraint of skin color.
