People only like rockadio because he's so privileged.

I got a 47, which I feel is kind of misleading. I have been the only member of my race/ethnicity in a room, as a teacher in a school in a community where white people don't live, this also leads to a lot of things like being told "you talk SO white" which is not a surprise, since I am. I regularly hide my sexuality at work, just to keep my kids assumptions about sexuality in check- not because I am afraid what they will think about me if I acknowledge being a heterosexual. There were some legit ones- between religion, periods of poverty, and mental health stuff there are some areas where I'm not totally privileged, but 47/100 seems mighty low...

This test is pretty shitty.

if you have the time and patience to finish that test you are very privileged.

L33Tg33k · « **Reply #7 on:** April 14, 2014, 05:43:02 PM »

That test takes literally 5 minutes. I think it says volumes about you if you can't finish it.

I'm supposedly more privileged than the turkey lurkey Gipper coming in hot at 48. But I really don't believe that I'm more privileged than him, horseshit !

L33Tg33k · « **Reply #9 on:** April 14, 2014, 05:57:02 PM »

I actually scored myself quite generously to get the 36. As you would imagine I had to make up my answers to the significant other questions and I simply chose the positive answers. Then the sexuality questions were really binary and my sexuality isn't that straight forward, but I just chose straight. People used to call me fag all the time though. Also, I clearly "talk white" even though I'm from a poor minority majority area.

Hey man, there is a saying in comedy: punch up. Don't make fun of me, I'm less privileged than you.

I didn't fill out the religion questions because I don't personally have a religion. But my parents are Jewish so I guess I could've. So I guess mine was kind of misleading, especially as I went to a good school and graduated and have traveled. The only thing that would ever make me seem "unprivileged" is my sexuality. Which even then I don't feel is a detriment. I'm a white kid from the suburbs, I don't have it bad.

L33Tg33k · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2014, 07:03:23 PM »

You still could have answered the religion questions. There is still discrimination for lack of religion. I was kicked out of my house for a while for my atheism.

left "never been told i'm not attractive for my race" blank cuz a black guy once said i look good for a whitey. also, left never been a victim of a violent crime because of my race blank, although when i was 15 i was raped by a black man in an alleyway in DC and afterward he was going on about how he "knew white boys was gonna be dope". also, people used to ask to touch my hair all the time when i had dreads.

I got 39/100. Always next time, I guess.

Hairy Ballsagna · « **Reply #18 on:** April 14, 2014, 09:41:41 PM »

I pretend to be "just friends" with my significant other whenever there's someone more interesting and attractive around.

oldgoodburger · « **Reply #19 on:** April 14, 2014, 09:45:07 PM »

60. that made no sense what so ever though.

L33Tg33k · « **Reply #20 on:** April 14, 2014, 09:50:10 PM »

How does it not make sense? Do you need someone to explain to you what privilege is?

DeputyDoses · « **Reply #21 on:** April 14, 2014, 10:18:49 PM »

49/100
it was interesting and a rather quick survey.

A likert scale would have been a more appropriate way to gauge people's responses, but I understand the time consuming nature of that.

One of them that confused me was something along the lines of buying new clothes every month...does anybody do that? I would imagine there are plenty of people richer than god that don't.

33/100.. i kinda dont agree with this 100% .. this is some typical white guilt shit

SodaJerk · « **Reply #25 on:** April 15, 2014, 02:46:06 AM »

I got a 39 and it said I am not privileged. I definitely had a stable and loving upbringing but there was rarely "spare" money. Living in an area where being white is the minority also means that being the only person of your race in the room or being on the receiving end of a racial slur is not that unusual.

Definitely not a perfect test, but the implications are clear.

So we're going to just keep posting scores and not acknowledge the fact that Rusty wuz raped?

I didn't take it because it's Buzzfeed but I imagine I would score pretty high...
