Tim Wise: White Privilege
In critical race theory, white privilege is a set of advantages that some say are enjoyed by white people beyond those commonly experienced by non-white people in the same social, political, and economic spaces.

Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People (Book)

Can You Teach Diversity and Inclusion?

Culture and Moral Distress: What's the Connection and Why Does it Matter?
Culture is learned behavior shared among members of a group and from generation to generation within that group. In health care work, references to “culture” may also function as code for ethical uncertainty or moral distress concerning patients, families, or populations.
