I mean, I kinda wish they DID exist, because then I would be cashing them in.
It's like you are telling me that there is an invisible bank that I cannot see, and in this bank, I have an account with $1,000,000 in it.
I mean, cripes, my score on this chart is like 85. http://www.blameitonthevoices.com/2012/10/chart-how-privileged-are-you.html
I should be king of the frigging world.
+25 white
+25 male
+20 straight
+5 Christian
+20 CIS
+20 United States
+25 able bodied
+10 tall
even with a few minuses
-25 poor
-20 ugly face (maybe it's just my personality though, you never know)
-20 social autism
85, I mean, that's still a damn good score. I should have at least $850,000 in the privilege bank. Especially if you consider that "poor" was my choice, and NOT the class I was born into. My birth score was 120.
Shit yeah, I would love for those 85 points to be worth SOMEthing. If these privileges really existed, then I'd have several winning lottery tickets.
I'd love to be able to cash in those chips.
