RE: Measuring 'Privilege'

in #identity6 years ago

Really interesting topic and one that I could probably discuss for hours. I think there are many different types of privilege, but what we do with them is ultimately how we should be viewed. It is a sad state we live in when people are constantly judged on things they have no control over rather than our intellectual merits.

It is a sad state we live in when people are constantly judged on things they have no control over rather than our intellectual merits.

This is probably the most troubling part of identity-politics, that we are being compartmentalized by factors we cannot control and are implicitly/explicitly disallowed to act upon factors that we can. The same short-witted thinking that led to underlying racism in previous generations seems to be creeping back in today's discourse.

Thanks for the great comment Jason!
