Mildly attractive, average weight, somewhat intelligent, straight white male.

I don't have to take this quiz to tell you I rolled a 7 at birth!

OMG I scored a 24 and I'm underprivileged. White, middle class, normal looking, overweight, heterosexual college grad who paid his own way.

What a joke. I have never had to defend my love of cupcakes either. That doesnt make me fat.

I have a question for them. Have you ever been punched in the face for being a liberal? NO? Well that shows you which side is tolerant. Plenty of people being assaulted for their conservative beliefs.

This country needs to be purged of the cancer that is called Liberalism/Progressiveness aka Communism.

I've been privileged all my life, since my mother decided not to abort me. And after that my privilege was extended to raise three children who are all productive members of society with good brains, good character and minds of their own.

I'm privileged to work hard at a job and pay taxes that feed those who are taught to hate me.

Somehow I didn't see any questions like:

1. My child was refuse college grants because she is white
2. My under qualified co worker was promoted over me because of affirmative action
3. I was made fun of because of my German heritage
4. Even thou my coworker was under qualified and inexperienced, she was placed on a career fast track


I'm tired of the belly aching from those that expect things to be given to them and blame white males for all their problems. Screw you!

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.
