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.â€" - 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.â€" - 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.â€"
"I have never been called “dyke.â€"
"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
