Not that having privilege personally is a bad thing either. It’s just opening you up to it, being aware of it. It also doesn’t diminish other negative things you went through.
I’m a white male. I probably have gotten jobs that were helped by that fact. I also grew up dirt poor only affording ramen and rice. One does not cancel the other out, it just adds to who I am.
However now being aware of it I want to move into a position where I can help change things, where I can help hire people not based on their skin color or sex
