To be serious about this, it is a lot easier to see and acknowledge your privilege as a straight white man when you're also affluent and professionally successful. I don't find it surprising that objectively downscale people don't like to be lectured on their privilege. — PolitiTweet.org

@marcscribner I think the whole concept is pretty much backwards — cars are usually the best option, but absent regulatory constraints you will sometimes get built environments where the space cost of cars isn't worth it so people will consider other options. — PolitiTweet.org

Now I look at it in a detached way and see that there really are important ways in which even a low-income white person enjoys certain advantages on the basis of race. But you should also be able to see why he'd find this kind of performative privilege-checking alienating. — PolitiTweet.org
