considering they need the lowest test scores of any race to get into school and they find employment through affirmative action hires i would say both of those things are significant displays of privilege over individuals who have to work harder and be more qualified to get into the same schools or get the same jobs. that's not even something you could vaguely debate on an individual level.
without a shadow of a doubt i experience more discrimination in my life as a transgender woman, than somebody would for being black in 2017. i don't receive more lenient college admission requirements, nor do i receive title vii employment protection rights like black people do. i have no sympathy.
sorry for caring more about individual equity than perceived guilt i should feel towards a race my ancestors never enslaved? sorry i don't feel like i should have to work harder for the same because someone else's great great great grandpa who happened to have a similar skin tone to me did bad things?
we're hitting a point where very few black people alive even experienced segregation, let alone their parents. acting like a black kid is any worse off than a white or asian kid that came from a poor family is laughable. if anything that white or asian kid has it worse because they don't receive social academic and legal benefitss to make up for their poor families.
