You're not privileged at all. You grew up with an intersectional, complicated identity, and life never let you forget it. You've had your fair share of struggles, and you've worked hard to overcome them. We do not live in an ideal world and you had to learn that the hard way. It is not your responsibility to educate those with more advantages than you, but if you decide you want to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help.

I got through 4 or 5 and decided I'd wait to see if this thread goes anywhere before putting in the effort to do the whole thing.

 :shakesfist:60. Really disappointed it's not higher. But I get cyber-bullied around here all the time for my identity. And I've been dendied lots of opportunities for being a white dude.

I did like the "I have student loans" and "I've worked as a barista" questions. It's like this survey was written by and for whiny little coastal hipsters.

It asked if I ever was the only kind of my ethnicity in a room. Plenty of times. Church, graduation parties, etc.  :gocho:

It's must be bullshit because I know I'm way more privileged than a 56.  Anyway I'm more privileged if I've never been in a room full of black dudes?  Wtf kind of racist survey is this?

I have never been the only person of my race in a room.

So, I guess the only people who check this box are people who have never been alone before?

Also, I hope all the K-Staters were honest and checked the box for going to an elite college.

There are a lot of students at K-State who have been the only person of their race in a classroom.

I guess we just aren't as privileged to just quit something that we started.

I tried to be true to the quiz, and I don't think the author would consider a state school to be an elite college.

You live with 90 out of 100 points of privilege.

You're among the most privileged people in the world. We don't live in an ideal world, but you happened to be born into an ideal lot. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. It just means a lot of other people in the world don't live life with the advantages you have, and that's something you should always be aware of. Hey, the fact that you took the time and effort to check your privilege means that you're already trying.

I'd like for you all to know that I took this quiz while seated in a leather recliner under the towering cathedral ceiling of a full amenity cabin on a secluded 70 acre property nestled in the mountains of western North Carolina with stunning views in every direction.

Not like a competition. But apparently we have a lot more in common than I would have guessed.

You may have been homeless, but if Wacky was a barista, that is worth just as much.
