Me acknowledging that I’m squarely in the demographic that needs to be very aware of how easy it is to attribute success to hard work rather than privilege makes me any kind of prejudiced?
I’ve got the same tribalism firmware as any other homo sapien, and I’ve probably said some xenophobic shit in my life without even realizing it.
But I try hard to make my way on my code rather than being 6’4”, a lean 230 and conventionally handsome, I think that’s a lame way to make a living no matter what it pays, unless one is a professional athlete or a model or something. I’d probably need to tweak my body fat percentage by as much as 10% to have the same superficial stats as an NFL half back, but I’d rather embrace my inner nerd, which feels more natural.
If you want to read about it, we’ll I post under my real name and Chaos Monkeys won a bunch of awards a few years ago.
