180380, It definitely is a 'gotcha' scenario. Posted by denny, Tue Nov-10-15 04:52 PM
But really....that's the nature of privilege rhetoric in the first place.
I will NEVER disregard something someone says based solely on their background and I won't do it to this girl either. Identity politics are outta control and this is another example as to why. It should matter not that this girl is rich and has a white mom. But it's really the prevalent university campus idealogy that is coming back to haunt her in the first place. More specifically, the idea that one's background legitimatizes (or de-legitamizes) the substance of their worldview. That she's rich has nothing to do with why I think she's wrong. She would be just as wrong if she was poor.
