Subordinated individuals can still hold relatively privileging identities

Evidence

Even women of color, who are disproportionally impoverished, may have some identities that relatively privilege them. To assist women of color, we need to delineate their multiple identities, examine how those identities intersect to privilege or lead them to face discrimination, and then design multidimensional programs that would enhance their life situations. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1166
