I think its appropriate a lot of the time to take into consideration someone's background when evaluating their stance.

A white male saying there isn't a racism and/or discrimination problem at Yale HAS to be evaluated differently from it coming from an underprivileged Lesbian Person of Color. That just can't be processed the same.

My greater point though is privilege checking doesn't stop at affluent white males.

I went to school with them and being a privileged brat cuts across racial and gender lines.
