Native American/ Latino. There is a bit of Latino privilege I've been able to enjoy in recent years.

edit: but nothing like you fancy whites.

No. I've got a giant bag of mental problems I'd gladly trade for some more melanin.

I think it's quite hard for anyone to feel privileged. Mostly humans are just good at feeling the lack of privilege that they see others having.

Most of us feel poor, for example. And yet all of us are still in what, the top 10% of wealth in the world.

So I only feel privileged in comparison to other people when I hear about their lives, but only in an objective sense. I can't say I feel particularly lucky day to day.

I'm not American but same shit applies. Hell in terms of privilege I'm about as aryan as they come really.

strangers don't see your internal struggles, they only see your skin color.

my life fuckin' sucks, but it would suck a lot more for me if i weren't white. i feel it's wrong to not acknowledge that.

What I have actually makes me more of a minority, but okay. I represent less than like 3% of the population.

i'm not trying to be dismissive of your problems.

people don't see that, though, and you reap benefits from your skin color.

I don't though. But it's okay if you want to believe you do or that I do. I don't want to argue. Sorry if I seem abrasive. I'm just not having a good morning I guess.
