This is not okay. This is the okay in a single way. This is exactly the wrong way to talk about privilege. 20k+ notes and they are almost all laughing and playing along? Please, my Tumblr friends, let’s put some sense in this chain.

I wouldn’t make a GAME out of this, but it’s definitely an interesting exercise, and is pretty much how things work in the world at large. If I were a high school teacher—or at least an intro sociology professor—I would consider unleashing this on my students.As for myself, it’s really a bit of an eye-opener, and makes me marvel a bit more at what my wife has been able to accomplish, given that her score on this would be almost the exact opposite of mine despite my inherent advantages as a skinny white guy whose joints work properly.
