You all get a +25 to privilege, for having the privilege of my presence.

I'm a Latin American girl and I scored 73/100...

B-but.. This is impossible. I-I'm a woman... AND Latin American.
I'm oppressed! I'm a victim!

W-what is this sorcery!?

Meanwhile, I'm a middle-class white guy who went to college and has a full-time job. It gave me a 48.

I'm OUTRAGED! /sarcasm

...really, most of these tests don't get very far. The questions basically go down a checklist ignoring current social issues, culture and demographics.

LOL,go ahead and tell a Boer Farmer in South Africa how lucky and "privileged" they are to be white. I'm sure they'll 100% agree with this list.

I just discovered I'm in love with all of you. The Tumblrites on GW2 would immediately argue about white privilege and patriarchy. I feel like I have at last found sane, kindred spirits.

As a former G2 player, I can agree, because hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooly hell, you talk about insane.

Also taking the quiz, a wage question came basically saying do I make more then the other gender, wat. How the hell am I supposed to know, also what if I'm unemployed, quiz is garbage.

[You live with 62 out of 100 points of privilege.]

Hot Damn an even 80!

The privilege of growing up around a bunch of drinking, swearing, and whoring french canadians finally shows itself.

RE: RANT ABOUT IRL THINGS AKA HUMANITY WHY - Kellach Woods - 10-08-2015

the quiz is bad because it's buzzfeed, not because the concept is shit like most of you seem to be saying.

lessee...

"I am white." - Wouldn't count in non-white countries. Applicable only to Western Europe/NA mostly and even then. Anything related to white people is effectively disqualified unless the test specifically mentions that it's only targeting NA/Europe/Australia/South Africa (the country) as a whole. i mean sure it's implicit, but if you want to make a more international flavor of that kinda test they already ask better questions for this.

"I have never been told I am attractive “for my race.”" - Bad. If you've never been told you're attractive you won't see the problem the same way as someone who has and it changes the meaning of the question completely.

"I have never been told I “sound white.”" - bad.com but not for the same reasons - i'm white af and i've been told i sound white several times. this is an issue of the test being trash.

"I have never been called “fag.”"
"I have never been called “dyke.”"
"I have never been called a “fairy,” or any other derogatory slur for homosexuals." - first question - if you've ever visited the internet chances are you have been called that slur. whoops. second question is disqualified if you're a dude (technically, the first question is disqualified if you're a cisgendered woman which possesses less privilege than cisgendered men so already the test is shoddily made.)

Skipping the rape section but i have thoughts about it. to make a long story short, there's too much implications on the public perception of woman victims (as in, how the media portrays rape rather than the more current discussions on rape) when the section should be about whether you were abused or not.

"I have never gone to bed hungry." - I understand what they want to say here except... I HAVE GONE TO BED HUNGRY. OUT OF CHOICE. BECAUSE OF LAZINESS. THIS TEST IS TRASH DOT COM.

It's funny 'cause the rest of the test past these glaring holes isn't bad other than the fact that its horribly weighted but come the fuck on.

then again this is fucking buzzfeed they just decided to throw a bunch of shit up and figured "THAT'LL GET SOME CLICKS".

like the exercise would be interesting! had it been done properly Sad

"pls remove your curtains we're having the windows changed friday morning" 

k sure no probs that sounds like a grand old time i'll do that thursday evening when i come back from work and i have more time to do so because they aren't the easiest curtains to remove sound good yes great.

"oh btw we're doing it at 7 AM thursday and we're just gonna leave a note on your door not knowing when you return from work obviously it'll be fine right?"

UMMMMMMMM

btw : i leave to go to work at 6:20 AM

i'll pull them back but i'm not removing them. they want them removed they can do it themselves.

It's buzzfeed. It exists for people to click on it, actual content be damned.

RE: RANT ABOUT IRL THINGS AKA HUMANITY WHY - Sylentmana - 10-08-2015

I'm got a 45/100 and the quiz says I'm not privileged at all. I'm a white heterosexual male and according to the rest of the internet I should be ashamed of all the privilege that's just oozing from my pores.

Why humanity? Why?

Wow. I didn't even know this was a thing. On the plus side, the movie looks like it might actually be pretty good.
