Greetings from Venezuela. I really liked your publication and I think we have something in common. I follow you from this moment. I do not speak English but I will use the translator. I just translated this publication in Spanish and I shared it.

Man I'm white and I would've gotten two steps out of all of those, mostly due to the fact my parents are too damn lazy to divorce. Most of those questions are aimed at rich kids and notice how they're taking jumps forward instead of steps. Their privilege isn't because of their skin color; it's because of nepotism. Nepotism should be treated like other forms of corruption wherever found and eradicated.
You don't think nepotism affects the statistical data of race?
It affects everything. It affects statistical data in the sense that if let's say we're dealing with highschool kids, those applying to colleges will be the ones who got insider info on how to fill out the bursary papers. Most of that shit is impossible to figure out unless you've got someone with the knowhow, and that knowhow starts from the inside. So now you run stats on which kids in the class are going to college and guess what, only those with parents in certain fields of work or with certain connections are in.
True. I suspect this race took place on a university campus and so it more so the upper middle class we're getting an example of without the bigger picture.
Same.
Nepotism is as old as history itself. There will never be a level playing field, but we can strive for one. Not by blaming others, but by first leading by example and then pulling the sliver out of the eye of others. I say this to myself, as I have a long way to go in this area.
When I arrive, you will know as my sister will probably send you an invitation to my funeral. lol
Hence my using the term privilege and not white privilege. Many poor whites blame people of color for their problems. The problem is stereotypes, ignorance of the culture of others, and the narrative that is perpetuated by media and those who have the privilege.
Those who are lower on the social ladder are kept divided by perceived differences of race, religion, national identity, etc. by the powers that be. This is an effective tool in maintaining power and keeping control over the masses, i.e., us.
This methodology was used by Hitler to gain and maintain his power, but he was by no means the first. The propaganda promoting social division is used by both the far-left and the far-right. The us against them narrative. Mankind and women-kind all look for a scapegoat. This scapegoat may be the Moslems, the Jews, Communists, Capitalists, Christians. The point I am trying to make is that we must look to ourselves, our motives, our duality.
That's why I don't see it as color barrier. You're right on the money. It's in the interest of the wealthy to ensure the myriad poor crabs never crawl out of their ghetto bucket.
good post
