I like the bit where leaders have to be informed by reactionary groups of intentional and unintentional aggression. Wouldn't they not know if it's unintentional, and not care if it's intentional?

Anyway, thanks for giving me a nice chuckle.

I like the "I have never been denied an opportunity because of my gender." question. Who can that possibly apply to?

Regardless, I got 64/100. Although some of the questions when read literally will provide the "wrong" answer: the hair question is clearly meant to give extra points to anyone who isn't black, but my Jewfro has certainly been touched by strangers. Also, I gave myself the point for not knowing what Sallie Mae is, but I've since looked it up and presumably have lost some privilege for doing so. Joke quiz.

Yeah, a few people have touched my hair before, although never any strangers. Also, I guess I'm more privileged for having no student loans because I have yet to go to college. Really, it seems like bullsh-t to me; class privilege takes up most privilege; I'm not saying that white privilege doesn't exist, white privilege exists, as does male privilege, straight privilege, etc, but class privilege is much more important.

Much of the class privilege uses words like "ever" too, which means that my memories from fairly early childhood, before my father got an MD, suddenly became relevant; some other things are incidental (have you been the only person of your race in a room; yes, I once had an African-American roommate who liked to host large social gatherings of his monolithically African-American friends, but I don't really think the experience made me more race-conscious).
