Quote: Mild Rover "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.'"
The only area where I have suffered is through my own inabilities - if you are bright enough you can be a brain surgeon - don't have to be rich, you can be a top lawyer - don't have to start off rich. I can't be a PL footballer - most of whom come from poor backgrounds and there are plenty of BAME playing in the PL - not because I didn't come from a rich background but because I have no ability at football etc.
Everybody has 99% of all opportunities - most simply can't see the opportunity and don't have the desire to take it.
