The town of Westport, Connecticut, is holding an essay-writing contest for high school students which asks participants to reflect on white privilege.

“In 1,000 words or less, describe how you understand the term ‘white privilege.’ To what extent do you think this privilege exists? What impact do you think it has had in your life—whatever your racial or ethnic identity — and in our society more broadly?” the contest description on the town website asks.

The winner of the contest will receive $1,000, while the student who comes in second place will get $750. The third-place prize is $500. An employee at the Westport Selectman’s office was unsure if funds for the prize money came from town taxpayers or outside donations. An inquiry was made directly to TEAM Westport itself but LifeZette did not receive a response by the time of publication.

The contest is sponsored by the local library and TEAM Westport — “Together Effectively Achieving Multiculturals” — an official town board whose name suggests it is dedicated to promoting liberal notions of identity.

TEAM Westport’s page on the Westport website asks residents to “Click here to support the work of TEAM Westport to achieve, extend and celebrate a more multicultural community.”

Westport, like many small, wealthy suburban towns in Connecticut is overwhelmingly white — over 92 percent white as of the 2010 census. It seems that in the wake of President Donald Trump’s historic victory, the multiculturalists at TEAM Westport are doing their best to ensure the racial divisiveness of the Obama era lives on.

White privilege is a pejorative term used by liberals to project guilt and lack of empathy onto Americans of European descent.

The 2017 “white privilege” essay contest is the fourth essay contest held in Westport that focuses on issues of race. Last year’s contest “asked students to consider the state of race relations in our country, ‘both the nature of the problem and the appropriate way to address divisions and inequities in our society,'” the Westport website says.

In 2015, Westport students were asked to “reflect on the barriers that prevent students from reaching out to others who are different from themselves, particularly those who are of a different race, ethnicity, and/or sexual orientation.”

The first contest, held in 2014, asked Westport’s students to explore their own impending demographic decline. “According to the U.S. Census, 30 years from now racial and ethnic groups that are currently in the minority in our country will collectively outnumber whites, ” the question began. “That change has already occurred for people aged 20 and younger — a group in which the total minority population now outnumbers whites,” it continued.

“As a high school student in 2013-14, you and your contemporaries are already part of this new reality. Please reflect on the impact this demographic trend will have on our country and on your life,” it asked. “In 1,000 words or less, describe what you think are the benefits and challenges of this change for Westport and for you, personally.”
