Quote: Sal Paradise " I am interested in where you believe an opportunity has been denied to you because of your social status/upbringing?'"
Interesting question, but why me? It’s a society-level issue, and my life isn’t necessarily very generalizable.
I will definitely have a think about my disadvantages, and what might mitigate those when I have more time. But I’m also aware that I’ve had certain advantages in terms of being white and male and straight and able-bodied, among others, so I don’t want to be whiny when I’ve been lucky, or discuss inequality only in terms of where it has affected me.
And there’s the flip side of some people getting too much opportunity to society’s detriment.
