How Privileged Are You

[mongers]

Nah, that's not enough of a deep examination of my character so couldn't be that simple.

Yeah, I was wondering that too, how do you get to a meaningful understanding of an individual from just the threads they post of languish.

Shrug. Garbon has posted plenty before and is perfectly willing to make claims about other peoples "privilege", so why would it be unreasonable to presume he is willing to do the same about his own, or lack thereof?

Perhaps he was just trolling then as well...?

But Ivy league educated, international pharma employee, American expat living in London Garbon sure spells out "privileged" to me.

I'm not Ivy league educated and I don't work at a pharmaceutical company. 2 lies and a truth?

Do people in your world generally say 'Boom!' when they are being serious?

Oh come on, your school is in that caliber for sure, and the fact that you chose to not go to school in the horrible Northeast shows you're smarter than most Ivy Leaguers anyway.

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

You live with 46 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.

very americano-centric though.  Going to private school here is no big deal.  Government pays 60% of the bill and there are charities, or discount for large families.  My best friend is a simple farmer and he will send all his 3 kids to private school, starting next year with the 1st.

And the questions about religion... what if I have no religion?  Am i supposed to complain because there is no such thing as a place of worship for atheists? That's weird.

Also, 77 out of 100.

I don't know why garbon foists buzzfeed on us.  It's not like we've hurt him or anything.

I got confused about "Identities".  What, like more than one?  Is this some sort of crazy thing?

If you go by Raz here, by Govory somewhere else, by Mike in your real life and to you these are all different people with which you can engage conversations at any time, then you are not priviledged.

White guys aren't privileged.

[Admiral Yi]

Seedy, do you have a special catty crazy cat person site you get those from?

google.com is my anti-drug.
