Gina Crosley-Corcoran, in her Huffington Post article, Explaining White Privilege to a Broke White Person, says that she was initially hostile to the idea that she had white privilege, because "my white skin didn't do shit to prevent me from experiencing poverty," until she was directed to read Peggy McIntosh's seminal 1988 essay Unpacking the invisible knapsack. According to Crosley-Corcoran, "the concept of intersectionality recognizes that people can be privileged in some ways and definitely not privileged in others." Cory Weinburg at Inside Higher Ed notes the concept of white privilege is frequently misinterpreted by non-academics because it is an academic concept that has been recently been brought into the mainstream, with academics studying white privilege routinely threatened. Abby Ferber noted that “when I was studying the white supremacy movement, I faced no resistance whatsoever...it’s only as the work looks at everyday racism that people are feeling very threatened and we see this incredible resistance and backlash.”

In this essay, McIntosh described white privilege as “an invisible weightless knapsack of assurances, tools, maps, guides, codebooks, passports, visas, clothes, compass, emergency gear, and blank checks," and also discussed the relationships between different social hierarchies in which experiencing oppression in one hierarchy did not negate unearned privilege experienced in another. In later years, the theory of intersectionality also gained prominence, with black feminists like Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw arguing that black women experienced a different type of oppression from male privilege distinct from that experienced by white women because of white privilege.
