I took the Buzzfeed checklist How Privileged Are You? and was not really surprised by my results. I scored 61/100, which was more than 73% of the quiz takers. The checklist revealed the following: 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 also read the Quick and Dirty guide and given my checklist results, I feel I need to challenge the systems that privilege some and oppress others and push back a little. I am aware that privilege exists but would need much more information to be able to expand my information as to how to best work with oppressed groups and support them in a way that is helpful.
