Hi! Directed here by lowellboyslash, I didn't realize you had LJ. I had a page up of links like this for a while, but it needs editing. Here are some of my best:
I don't have any "best" links for white privilege, though I can recommend a book I read while learning in real life about it: Courageous Conversations about Race. It's really a guide for public-school educators, but for all that it's pretty good. I also just found a series of five videos by white people who learned something about their privileges. I think some of the "related" features would be from the perspectives of some people of color, though.
Finally, it sounds like your dad might benefit from a couple of Derailing for Dummies hits: Arguing with opinions or anecdotes and the next two; unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one for the most basic "But I don't see it, so it must not exist."
Oh, and if you can, get him to look up what a "silencing tactic" is.
