You live with 72 out of 100 points of privilege.
You’re quite privileged. You’ve had a
few struggles, but overall your life has
been far easier than most. This is not a
bad thing, nor is it something to be
ashamed of. But you should be aware of
your advantages and work to help
others who don’t have them.
How privileged are you?
Re: How privileged are you?
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

Re: How privileged are you?
And here I am on the other side of the spectrum, YET we all get along and we all can be friends.You live with 29 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.

It took a long time for Boom to figure out who the mother was.

Spent 1 year as the only white kid in my class. lol what i find funny is all the "slurs" i remember are some type of food.
