How Privileged are you? | Comments

I got 1% unprivileged and it said "1%

You are extremely privileged!!! I bet you're some white cisgendered heterosexual male who never checks his privilege." I am a 13 year old latina with immigrant parents who moved here for a better life. They worked hard and got good paying jobs and now earn enough to be in the upper middle class. I agree that I am privileged and I'm very grateful and I have never been discriminated against because of my race. This test is stupid and was surely made made by some privileged white feminist who thought she really did something with this. My family and I are privileged because my parents made a difficult choice to leave their lives behind in their 20s and move to America. They work hard everyday of their life and never act above anyone else and I was lucky enough to be born into this family. So it's unfair and stupid to assume that everyone who is privileged is in that position because they're white. I know this was a long comment but the outcome and message after this quiz is idiotic and it made me mad.

-0% underprivileged. Apparently, I'm a white cis male who never checks his privilege.

I'm actually a mixed race female Latina who also happens to be a minor and who has no effing idea what sexual orientation I happen to be. I was never bullied for my race, although I did get lots of "Are you Asian, then?" and "Oh, is that in Africa?" guesses, which I don't think counts.

I'm lucky enough not to suffer from mental illness, disability, or poverty.

I'm simply some kid who got her US citizenship last March and who didn't check off many negative options on this quiz because she is so hecking grateful to be where she is now.

So rethink your white cis male, please.

Rethink your laughably narrow, pessimistic views on modern human society.

20% unprivileged. im 19 years old, white, straight male. I work construction 10 hours a day (it takes an hour to get from home to work so 12 hours) 6 days a week. I work for everything i have. I help my father pay bills and buy all of my things. I grew up very poor ( i lived in a shack in the woods and went hungry almost everyday). I watched my mother get beaten and my own family bullied me daily just for being me. I was also bullied in school for most of my life. Im very suicidal and suffer from crippling anxiety. Now, tell me that im privileged. The only reason im actually commenting is to show you that just because im white, male, and "cis" does not mean im (or anyone for that matter) "privileged." Hopefully you can see reason and realize this, but lets be real, you wont.

27% unpriveliged

Youre still problematic af but at least you have a clue. What a load of bulls---. You can have privilege and be aware and help.

As well as from the other comments I can see how rubbish this quiz is.

For another it is for American in the medicine and insurance questions. Because where I live we get free health care and insurance isn't so expensive. So why don't you -creator of this quiz- maybe realise that you are not special. This quiz is stupid and so are you

"I bet you're some white cis-gendered heterosexual male who never checks his privilege" This assumption illustrates your naivety and narrow-mindedness. I acknowledge my privilege, however, the hostility employed in your message is undermining the reputation of your "quiz." As someone who worked their way into success, I'm appalled you would assume I don't check my privilege. The time you spent making this exposes your hard-working mindset. The best advice I could give you is to focus your pragmatism on something that will generate capital, like a business for example. Complaining about the privileged class of society won't get you anywhere in life.

I honestly had no idea this "thing" even existed and it's only because this Voltaire youtuber made a video about this "thing" that I decided to do this "test". Privilege? Please grow up! I have more importat things to worry about like getting myself a job to finally be able to live on my own and repay my parents for keeping me at home for so long.

People, do yourself a favor and carry on as you are. There's nothing life changing to see here except the skewed personality of the person that put this quiz together and apparently has no idea how different areas of the world work, stuck in "it's" own bubble.

Have a good day everyone else!

Imagine taking any of this seriously, lol. I doubt anyone who's taken this quiz is actually "privileged" at all, despite what it likes to point out towards anyone who's cis, white, or heterosexual. Identity politics are so funny yet so sad. Ever notice how nowadays when you tell someone you're gay, or trans, or whatever breed of beautiful sparkle unicorn you are, they don't immediately seize you, tie you to a stake, and light a fire beneath you? We don't live in the dark ages anymore. The Modern-day "oppression" everyone seems to be suffering from is quite literally anytime anyone expresses an opinion opposite to yours. The idea that skin color or sex should govern how more or less "privileged" a person is, is an insult to those who have actually suffered from prejudices because of said traits. I recommend a good dose of actual research, rather than feeding into the pseudoscience behind "white privilege" or "male privilege," etc. and here's a Hot Take: Facts don't care about your feelings. Either way, I honestly hope this quiz was meant to be satirical, because if so, you got me. Lmfao. And if anyone was wondering, I got 21%

"14% percent unprivileged. You are extremely privileged!!! I bet your some white cisgendered heterosexual male"

Bro really? I'm a Latin American minor with parents that moved to the US because they wanted to. I don't need to worry about bills because my dad's in the military and my mum is a nurse(high in demand). My parents came to this country to have a new life and freedoms. Honestly I'm not sure I even count as Latin American because of the fact I'm a mixed-race Jamaican but anyway, I know I got privilege because of my father being in the military, having a degree, and paying my mum child's support. I'm grateful that I don't have to ask for much but really? I must be some cisgendered heterosexual white male, are you kidding me? You are aware there are a nice amount of cisgendered heterosexual white males that never got the taste of privilege once in their life and are poor and maybe even having to commit crimes to put some food on the table, right? If you believe that every white guy has privilege then go to European slums, you'll maybe just make some bulls--- excuse to make some sense of white people not being wealthy.

According to this quiz I am 0% underprivileged, but I am 15 years old and everyday I feel intensely grateful for how lucky I was to be born with privilege. Just because I am in the 0% does not mean I am bad person as the note I got when I finished the quiz suggests.

I do community service for people less fortunate than myself and I educate myself on the LGBTQ+ community, other religions and their beliefs, American History (including slavery and the oppression of many non-white races throughout American history) etc.

Overall I was upset because there are stereotypes about the 0% that are very negative that this quiz promotes. But it is not my fault if I was born with privilege, and every day I try to learn about other peoples lives and think about how I could support my fellow LGBTQ+, colored, poor, or underprivileged neighbors.

I am very privileged, white male, young, thin, (but not great looking), and the only mental problems I have are ADHD, (though I used to have an insane amount like you wouldn't believe). I am upper mid class, and the only reason I haven't taken college yet is I'm not old enough. I am well aware of my privilege, and use it to gain privilege for others, as much as possible, though my youngness makes it a little difficult. I try my best!

2% underprivileged and loving it! AFAIK this quiz was made by a cis-gendered white man. I'm taking it to be a bit tongue in the cheek. I think the author was taking a gentle dig about our current silly preoccupation with white male cis-gender privilege. Most people posting here who got a low underprivileged score seem to be making the most of their lives whatever ethnic or gender background they have, and good for them!

"You are extremely privileged!!! I bet you're some white cisgendered heterosexual male who never checks his privilege."

damn I mean I'm a biracial, bisexual female who is fully aware of any privileges she has but okay

You may have encountered a few rough patches, but "things are still pretty good for you."

Thanks. Yes, I am white. I am also heathen, mentally/physically disabled, pansexual, and gender fluid. I am not working and my parents help pay rent and medical. I went to schools where I was the only white and got beat up for it. But I'm only 40% underprivileged?

I like how I am a minor, mixed race, depressed (with anxiety), bisexual, cisgender, female but I got %12 unprivileged and called a white cisgender heterosexual male just because my parents have a little money. money isn’t everything and it’s not like I have any of my own.

Dude, I'm a cis bisexual Latina girl and this quiz "[bets I'm] some white cisgendered heterosexual male who never checks his privilege." Like, what?

My parents are immigrants who have quite a bit of money because they worked their asses off. We go on vacations to Europe and I go to an elite private school. But I'm not white, straight, or male.

Somehow Im 17% unprivileged, I'm white, I never knew my dad (Hes been in prison pretty much my whole life) , I struggled with drug addiction, Im from a fairly big city (200k), I've seen friends die at a young age due to where we live in the city, At age 16 I got a job to help my mom pay bills, Ive been arrested trying to get me and my little brother a meal to eat at night when my mom isnt home. But im privileged...
