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.

Yes. It's poorly done.

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.

I identified as a female when I dressed as a fairy for Halloween here at work.

I've been racially profiled before too.

I've also been the only white male in a group before.

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