QuoteYou live with 48 out of 100 points of privilege.

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.



Boom! (Though I'm not sure why this recently resurfaced on buzzfeed)

Pffft, awful choices...who hasn't been called a fag; it's called junior high school.

And who wouldn't want to touch my hair, it's fucking gorgeous.

What a horrible questionnaire.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I haven't ever been called 'dyke'. -_-

QuoteHow Privileged Are You?

You live with 70 out of 100 points of privilege.
You're quite privileged. You've had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don't have them. Thank you for checking your privilege.

This guidance from the central committee on who we should feel sorry for is very helpful.

I love that garbose has to stoop to accessing buzzfeed to feed his persecution complex. With his education, job and flat in central London, he is one of the most privileged people here. But he sucks dick, so he has it worse than a starving child in Ethiopia, apparently.

And I don't even have cable. I mean, only poor people watch flow tv these days.

I got 38 out of 100.

I'm pretty sure that garbon's family is more well-off financially than mine, but I've got to question a survey that scores a gay, black American as more privileged than a straight, white American.

I don't think too many starving Ethiopians post here.

though I ignored the spirit of a lot of these questions, which by itself probably means I'm privileged  :Embarrass:

I like how "never taken medication for my mental health" is a privilege. :lol:

There are 14 questions linked directly to sexual orientation (plus six that are generic to "identity").  There are three dealing with gender identity, five dealing with gender, five dealing with religion, and eight dealing with race.

I wouldn't have thought that privilege would so closely track sexual orientation, but I guess now I know better.
