How privileged are you?

Use this handy chart to work it out!

I got a Zero! I am neither privileged nor unprivileged. I am therefore free to make whatever social deviant comment I want without infringing on cultural and social mores! :D

I have 15 privilege. This means I can also do stuff but I have to be careful.

I think I should subtract 30 because I had to use a calculator.

Wait, wait, wait...

Bisexual at +10?

That should be a negative. Especially for men. And a negative for women, too, if they're not "weekend bisexuals".

And a hint of antisemitism at the +25 Jewish.

Anyway, I got a -65. 'cause I'm a raging homo.

Look, this Privilige chart was made with the greatest of science. Obviously, if one cannot understand the logic behind, then I am of the belief that this is actually 2deep4u.

This logic is impeccable.

A deaf male bisexual is more privileged than a cisgendered able-bodied female! Good to know. tongue

Wait, maybe I'm not -65. I'm -95.

Look, all I can say is that the logic this chart runs off is unrelated to Hopey Logic. Hopey Logic would accentuate everything by at least 10 000%.

Weak chart doesn't even mention Canada.

I'd give Canada a +20. Same as the United States.

Nah, they have at least a slight edge. Probably not more than Europe, but I'm not familiar enough with what's going on to say.

If they're more privileged than Europe, it'd be because American New World opportunities and junk + European enlightenment.

Okay, this person is clearly a deeply prejudiced individual. And the plus/minuses are ridiculous. Obviously. But setting that aside, how the fuck is a white male just as privileged as a billionaire? I mean, what? >_>

Ooh, let's play the privilege game.

Let's add ridiculous modifiers.

A white Mt F transgendered woman living in Europe who's a bombshell 11/10 billionaire is less privileged than me - a broke gay college student working as a server in a restaurant who just got sued and has no car. By almost 200 points.

Race: White +25
Sex: Female -50
Orientation: Bisexual +10 (Though it was a tossup between this and Straight)
Gender: Cis +20
Country: Australia +15
Religion: Non-religious 0
Status: Middle 0
Profession: None/Other 0
Attractiveness: Overweight -10 (How can one answer that honestly? So I just went with the objective)
Disability: Able-bodied +25
Size: Normal 0
Doing it on a Saturday, -15

Altogether, that's +20 privilege. Above average, but beneath OFFISHULY PRIVILEGED~

I'd say it's pretty broken... The attractiveness question in particular is hard to answer, at least not without consulting another. And Bi should incur negative points.

Based on this chart, for ULTIMATE DISPRIVILEGE one should be:
- Black -100
- Female -50
- Intersex -75 (Should be worth WAY more IMO)
- Trans -500 (It seems a bit odd to me that there are two categories for this... Can one be an intersex trans? Don't hit me.)
- Gay -150
- Retarded -200
- Blind -750
- Homeless -250
- Muslim -50
- Living in the Middle East -600
- Short -10
- Disfigured -40

That is, according to my calculations, -2775 privilege points. Holy shit son. We should find that black, Muslim, disfigured genderqueer lady and like give her a trophy or something.

Why the hell is scientist a negative profession? Most scientists I know have at least a decent income, and geologists in particular tend to get paid well.

Also, trans is way too negative. It's definitely going to lead to difficulty, but it's not going to fuck over a person as badly as living in a war-torn country.

It might be because they're undervalued socially... Compared to like, an actor or an athlete. Though why a scientist would have it worse than an engineer, I'm not sure. Also, doctor should be rated way higher than engineer or investment banker.
