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

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

If you make $30k per year then you are enjoying over double the global median income and are in some sense enjoying a lot of "US citizen privilege" regardless of your class position or ethnicity, but absolutely everyone understands that's a terrible way to engage people. — PolitiTweet.org
