Spending the time or having the inclination to even read through that list, much less complete it and tally it, indicates profound privilege.

"Feeling privileged" is also apparently a privilege... I've never considered second order privileges...

The giddiness of the people that put this list together was my biggest take while I was reading this.
My grandparents could have checked most of the boxes but they saw the glass as half full at all timesâŚand there was no govât check to help.

Imagine being bat-shit crazy and having your culture support your bat-shit craziness 100%. That's a privilege never before enjoyed in human history.

I AM white! Along with some African and Asian. Same as you...

I HAVE been discriminated against because of my race. See question1.

I am often the only person of my race in a room. Seriously, I have an Asian guy, an African American guy, and an Indian girl as my staff.
-
Iâm from Pittsburgh. I am always mocked for my accent.
-
I havenât been told Iâm attractive for my race. But thatâs because Iâm not very attractive for my race.
-
I have been a victim of violence because of my race.
-
I have been called a racist slur.
-
I donât even understand what that statement means

A stranger HAS asked to touch my hair.

I am heterosexual
-
I have never lied about my sexuality, but I have let people assume... I mean, I was involved in Drama and Music... I would have been kicked out if they thought I was straight...
-
I have had to come out and let gay friends know I was straight.
-
Iâm pretty sure my dad used to think I was gay.
-
I have been called a derogatory name for homosexuals. Iâm pretty sure every HS boy has....
-
I have had to hide my heterosexuality...
-
I am not comfortable giving public displays of affection.
-
I have pretended a past girlfriend was just a friend...

May I suggest that if you disagree with some of the basic tenets of âyour religionâ then maybe it isnât your religion?
-
Kinda
-
Yes, I have. Typically when gay friends find out I am straight...
-
yep. It was a really strange bar.
-
Yes, I am a man.
-
Ever been caught in your zipper? Thatâs never comfortable.
You know, personally I think that all of these âintersectional people have a completely inaccurate view of what it means to be a straight white guy...

Your lack of care and consideration for the test is a sign of privilege. Mark it a 37. (And yes, Klaus, you can build a recursive loop here and make jon's score infinity.)

I like the question about "feeling poor". Growing up we lived in one of the largest "mansions" in town, but it was in a state of benign neglect because we could barely make the payments. My Dad worked as many as 3 jobs and my Mother 1 job. I didn't have curtains in my bedroom until I was in middle school. Hand me down clothes, growing our own food, almost never eating out. No vacations, no travel. But I didn't feel poor. My parents wouldn't hear of it.
