      That’s nothing compared to good looks. Opens literally all doors in life. Secret cheat code.

        It’s not something you actively use, it is just “there.”

        For example: I applied to a job as a refrigeration technician and during the interview the guy actually fucking said “it’s really hard to get clean cut white guys to apply. I don’t want some Dominican (literally referring to their Dominican maintenance guy) walking into a store with our logos on.”

        I had finished a tech school with some other black guys that I know also applied, I got the job and they didn’t. :/

          I bet that interviewer cheers like crazy when a Dominican player hits a home run for their favorite team, LOL.

      I hate it when you see those images on other SM of poor white people and some knuckle dragger says “I see no white privilege here”.

        Yeah, I guess left-leaning white males are just as underprivileged and oppressed as people of color and women. We should rename it to “conservative white male privilege.”

          I know you’re joking, but queer white men exist, and they also face oppression.

          It’s almost like the system that keeps us all oppressed actually doesn’t give a shit about these marginal differences, and just wants to keep us focused on identity politics and fracturing ourselves.
