Might be time to pull them out.

Race is about how one is perceived in society. When people are not perceived as black according to cultural standards of the society they live in, they do not endure the same prejudice. The absence of that prejudice is privilege, something those of us of Irish, Anglo, and Northern European appearance benefit from. That is not to say there may not be historical or familial influences that are other than European, but that is not the same thing as race.
