Kevin Beckforth published an insightful article on the Huffington Post in response to the Megan Kelly comments about Santa Claus and Jesus. What is interesting about Beckforth’s article is that he highlights Kelly’s sociocultural location and privilege as playing an important role in her perspective. This is an important point that has not been brought out by the majority of criticism of Kelly’s comments, which have tended to focus on the accuracy of her claims (about Jesus, in particular). The point about privilege is that it obscures our view of the world, because we don’t have to take into consideration the viewpoints of the less privileged. It takes work to overcome the veil that results from our privilege, and most of us simply don’t make that effort.
