A revealing comment – Dr Jonathan Brown and white privilege

Asalam-u-Alaikum Dr. Brown,
May Allah (swt) reward you immensely for all your work. I enjoy listening to your lectures and talks.

Being a Caucasian person in a field that historically has seen more, brown, black, Arab scholars. How are you fitting in and any noteworthy experiences?.

Dr Jonathan Brown replied:

Being white makes a lot of people like me and listen to me who normally wouldn’t. It’s messed up and I feel but what can i do.
