I'm definitely a straight American male. I'm Jewish, so one is right out. I typically self-identify as white (and voted 4), and I'm "Census white", but there are certainly some who would not consider me white, and I definitely count as a "visible minority" in my community, so that one's sorta debatable.

Why is Jewish more privileged than Christian on the chart? The 'country' part definitely has too-broad categories (the distinctions between Europe top/meh/sh**t are really vague and seem a little spurious; having South Africa and the CAR be in the same category is ridiculous, as is having Israel and Syria in the same category), while 'status' has random gaps; the different categories of 'height' are only defined vaguely, and some of the 'profession' parts seem totally random (why is scientist -15? why can't a CEO or lawyer be something other than 0?).

Adding it all up gave me +180, so I'm pretty sure I should check my privilege and refrain from criticizing the chart. But so many parts of it just don't make sense...
