I heard about this in high school, met some people in college who said this, but did not grok it. What I did do was recognize that this is what everyone smarter than me believed, and took it on faith. As a now 40s white guy, I am fucking astonished on a daily basis how this culture is built for exactly me. Holy crap people. Take it from me, it is great to be 40something and white in America, even on little money. Not bragging. I see how bad it is out there for so many. What I do for work brings me to where other people work and live. It’s illuminating.
