According to this, an American retard working as a teacher(kind of like the one who taught this lesson) is more privileged than a wealthy, middle eastern investment banker.

I absolutely love the hypocrisy of liberals.

They spend their entire life saying how everyone should be treated equally than go out of their way to test, stereotype, categorize and award points to make sure they can identify victims and oppressors of all kinds. So they can praise and celebrate victims and villify oppressors.

In the name of equality.

It's flipping MINDBLOWING that people still can't see this.

this reminds me of the twilight zone episode where a beautiful woman has surgery so she can look like the rest of the hideous people in her world. the surgery fails. she remains beautiful and is bereft at the end that she isn't hideous like everyone else.
Interesting concept, especially for back in the '60's. But completely unrealistic since privileged people never feel privileged or badly that they are.

Rather than make the privileged feel bad (impossible) maybe it'll build up those who are not stereotypically privileged.

I think this is also a way to program kids into not thinking for themselves, and internalize the "agenda."

They've been "identified" and that's it. Caste system.

They can't move up, they can't move down. Here's your "status"

Brave New World? Big wave to Huxley.

I guess the September 11 artists are "not privileged" by this calculation.

Similarly, one might argue that the the people with such mindsets might also think Black poverty-stricken man couldn't be racist against a White man because the Black man doesn't have the power to.

all people are born with advantages and disadvantages as an accident of birth. Not all of us are going to be tall, good looking, intelligent, mentally or physically healthy due to genetics or born to married parents, for examples. do advantages of birth guarantee success? do disadvantages of birth guarantee failure?

In what specific ways would a privilege points survey "build up those who are not stereotypically privileged"?

how were each of those "privilege" points determined/calculated? what do those points even mean?
for example, Stephen Hawking was very physically disabled, but a genius who changed the science of physics. Are Hawking's disadvantage/advantage points a wash or does a major physical disability get a larger deduction of privilege points than being born a genius gets privilege points?
