Despite Trevor Noah being deemed as “colored,” explain how he experiences white privilege.

English

Answer:

The current host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah is a South African who was born during a time when the Apartheid system was in effect in the country. The Apartheid system meant that whites, blacks, coloreds and even Indians were separated based on their racial classification.

Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa South African mother and this was not allowed so they had to hide his biracial/ colored identity. Colored people did not receive the same benefits as white people but were still considered higher in the social order than black people.

This meant that even though Trevor Noah did not received the same treatment as whites, he was still privileged. An example of this was in his own family. His grandmother would administer corporal punishment to her other grandchildren but never to Trevor Noah because she was scared of damaging his skin.

He also received other privileges from her as well as other family members because as a colored, he was considered superior to the rest of his black family.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer: It means the person was running through the corridor without anything in their arms.

Explanation: The word unencumbered means "Not having a burden". So, with this in mind, it means the person is running free of things that hold them back. They're running freely.

iren [92.7K]

Montresor tells all of his servants that they must stay in the house. He also tells him that he is going out and will not return until much later. Since the story takes place during a popular festival, the servants want to leave and join the partying. Montresor knows that if he tells the servants he won't be back for a while the servants will leave the house anyways. Since he is not there to make sure that they are doing what he's asked, the servants will go off and do whatever they want.
