Ah yes, bartenders, baristas, waiters and sales people are the underprivileged.

Not janitors, field workers, construction workers, plumbers, bus drivers, child care workers, etc....

Nope, if you haven't had to work as a barista, you're privileged.
Yeah, throw in bus drivers and child care workers because they have to deal with the general public all day.

Lol yea, most good sales people make more money at the company they work for than anyone else there. Of course excluding C level executives. Sales folks at Google make a killing, lolling at the programmers thinking $250k per year makes them elite hahaha

Kickin rad :hellyeah:

You live with 86 out of 100 points of privilege.

You’re among the most privileged people in the world. We don’t live in an ideal world, but you happened to be born into an ideal lot. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. It just means a lot of other people in the world don’t live life with the advantages you have, and that’s something you should always be aware of. Hey, the fact that you took the time and effort to check your privilege means that you’re already trying.

The quiz results, regardless of what was selected, should have just defaulted to "you're on the internet, filling out a quiz on buzzfeed...of course your privileged, dumbass". :haw:

EDIT: Apparently I'm not privileged, because people in highschool were mean to me and I'm frugal? :confused: :v:

Ok the only box I checked was "I have never heard of "Sallie Mae"" because lol, and I got a 1 on the privilege-o-tron. I think it's stupid and triggering that I only got "You're underprivilged" same as people who still had like 25 privilege. I call a foul in the oppression Olympics and I demand a re-accounting

look at me, i'm a privileged gently caress. oppressing the poo poo out of some fools. and i'm not even straight!

i think there should be an option for whether you've squandered all your privileges and been a complete failure at life, and feel really sadbrained because of it, because i think that's a legit way that goons are oppressed in this day and age, and other people who constantly remind others about their privilege need to check their privilege and be careful not to trigger someone who had privilege and never benefitted meaningfully from it

I'm a depressed atheist who lives paycheck to paycheck and comes from a lovely family, yay for me

Yeah I think the original goal behind "checking (one's) privilege" was to get people to admit that even though they've worked hard and been through some poo poo and had to overcome some stuff, some people just got a worse start and/or had some way worse poo poo happen to them, and maybe just maybe part of the reason they're doing ok has to do with the fact that maybe there are some obstacles they haven't ever had to face like being the wrong skin color or being raped, and maybe some people doing worse than you might be doing a lot better if everyone (maybe just maybe including you) stopped making GBS threads on them.

I am uncomfortable with public displays of affection, not due to any queerness but because I think sucking face in public is loving wrong.

Buzzfeed says this means I am less privileged than others. THANKS BUZZFEED!

Going by all these metrics a white mentally handicapped person could be most privileged creature ever, never sees racism or discrimination, has everything taken care of for them including others wiping your rear end for you.
