What I mean by this is that their privilege depends on where they are located and they are dominant in that area. The example Ross gives in the essay “The Unexamined” while he went to Rome illustrates this very clearly. Since he says that white people have the privilege of not being examined, it depends on how well they fit in with others in the same area. When he was in his city everyone around him had similar characteristics, so he blended in easily In this case no one would examine him, nor point the finger at him, hence the belonging to a privileged group opinion he had of himself, all this would change as soon as he moved to another place. where people have different characteristics than his, he would be distinguished from others, losing his group's privileges as unexamined. So, in order for Ross to maintain his group's privileges, he must maintain his geographic position. Another example that shows that privileged groups maintain their privileges by staying in the same place is that of people who are part of a gang. Being in a gang you have the privilege of having power over other people who are not part of your gang. Everyone is afraid of you and no one would go against you. I've seen him in many different movies that I like to watch during my free time. Members of several gangs provoke anyone who enters their territory. They are the ones who dictate the rules in that sector. They have the privilege of ruling the lives of others. But if they move to a different area that is not part of their gang they lose their privileges. They are no longer in control. Nobody cares who they are, nobody is afraid of them. It's as if they don't even exist anymore. These two examples show that groups can maintain their privileges by remaining in the same geographic area, otherwise they would lose it and be nothing more than a regular group with no power or even little importance.
