I am trying to take that survey but it is just too gay for me to finish.

I need to go lay down. The room's startin' to spin real fast... cause of... cause of all the gayness.

Hey, the fact that you took the time and effort to check your privilege means that you're already trying.


Bolded. Goddamn right.

These online privilege tests are a rough estimate at best. To truly gauge your level of privilege you need to go to a professional. It costs about five hundred bucks and takes about a day and a half.

73. Most of y'all must be Poors.

You live with 73 out of 100 points of privilege. You're quite privileged. You've had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don't have them. Thank you for checking your privilege.

I didn't finish the quiz. It's very heavily biased toward LGBT.

Plus some of those questions are incredibly stupid:

"A stranger has never asked to touch my hair" - Um, it's quite common for black kids to want to touch a white person's hair. Whoever wrote that one must live in Idaho or Montana.

They have two different questions asking the same thing, being called fig or being called a different gay slur. The duplication is dumb, but most straight guys have been called a gay slur. That makes us oppressed??

"I've never been called a racial slur" - I'm white and I've been called the n word, as well as a cracker.

"I don't have any student loans" - This is where I stopped. People who never went to college can answer yes to this one. Off the charts stupid.

58/100

Tbh, not sure I understood some of the questions. Too many 'nevers' and use of the word identity...I don't really 'identify' as -----, I just am?

FTR, I am white, male, Christian, college grad, self-employed, hetero, married, 2 kids....BUT, raised in sgl parent home due to early Father death, recvd some governmental assistance for education, worked from age 16...IDK, guess I am privileged.

36/100

I answered honestly. Been called a fig? Check. Workplace accommodate religious beliefs? No mfr, I work on Sunday. And if I decide not to I'll be told to go work somewhere else. I've been real hungover and thought I should just kill myself, so suicide? Check.

Stupid frickin survey.

No need to know my numerical score and am just happy to be quite privileged. I feel it and live it every day!

I'm a white heterosexual male so that alone makes me privileged.

80/100. However if I didn't hate all PDA and if my loans weren't paid off, I'd have an 82.

I'm not going to waste my time with a democrat survey, but I'm pretty sure I'm probably 100 out of 100 and am cool with that.
