To be successful in America, your odds are greatly increased if you are at least one of the following:
A) Intelligent
B) Attractive
C) Athletic

Two of three improves your odds and if you happen to hit the genetic trifecta, you'd almost have to try to fail. Inheriting a shitload of money obviously provides a nice head start, but if you're a moron, it'll soon be gone.

Obviously true. You can even become rich and famous on good looks no matter your ethnicity.

Nah. My old LSU roomie was FUGLY and happened to drive a new 'vette courtesy of his rich mom. He picked up chicks 2 or 3 a week. We used to mess with him and ask if he got seconds off the shifter LMAO.

Pick one you’d rather be:
1) modelesque black hunk
2) average looking white guy

There is your answer.

Lot more opportunities being black. All you need is a professional degree and a reasonable work ethic and you are set for life.

I don't.. Being good looking is a pretty powerful privilege. If someone is attractive, they are attractive, I don't care what their race, sexuality or religion is. Them being attractive will gain people's attention before anything. I will say true.

You'd rather be a good looking gay transexual Arabic Muslim than an ugly straight white Christian?

I'm not sure. I'm a privileged handsome, straight, Christian, white male who has a good education, and came from a family of professionals. It could be any of those factors, but having the combination of them all makes life pretty easy.

Is Heidi Klum a factor in this equation?

Anyone who says they would rather look like Paul Giamatti than Denzel Washington clearly has something wrong with them. The number of interested sexual partners alone would be a difference maker to most everyone.
