interesting comments. maybe i'm miss reading something or it's the difference in culture/nationality, but is the point that people of color are thus not capable of enjoying (or in the position to enjoy) priviledge, e.g., "middle class and well educated and well off"? i'm sure it's just me and i'm not reading it right. in a mixed group of people on an outing, usually the terms are discussed before, such as, "we're all going dutch," or "i'm covering the tab for us all," or, "let's all chip in and i'll cover the difference", right?
