Why is it so insulting to recognise that you got some advantages from being part of the in-group? . . . Maybe it’s the Irish in me, but it baffles me how much some people think that good luck is a bad thing to have.
Well of course, most people in dominant/privileged groups just aren’t clued in to that like you are. Many honestly believe that opportunities in life are equal now, and further, that efforts to address ongoing inequities actually mean that those in dominant groups are “the real victims these days.”
It’s a right mess, and I’m not sure that these things really are getting better.
