How Privileged are you?

Signs or Uneasy Rider?  somewhat similar songs (Signs was more protest, Uneasy Rider was more funny...... I dont even own a garage you can call home and ask my wife)

 

I guess I've never heard Signs, but I may have to find it someday.

I scored 48 but many of the questions dont apply to me any longer.

I have had advantages that were not available to minorities.  For example I applied for a crew scheduling position at the airline where my wife worked.  I had gotten to know her supervisor and manager who put in a good word for me to the hiring manager.  I also had experience in transportation as a dispatcher in the trucking industry. The airline complied with government hiring requirements so there was minority representation in the company. The fact I knew people there was definitely an advantage. 

I don't know that privilege is the correct term.  Privilege tends to imply you are going to get something whether you deserve it or not, and that you will not necessarily need to work to keep it.  I would agree that I have had advantages that others have not had, but that did not mean that I did not have to work for what I have.

not gonna take it.  the whole thing is just softening up society for another round of affirmative action.  It'll work, too.  fortunately I'm old and it probably won't affect me.

Oh, for goodness. I was learning so much from your exchange.
