[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in an UMC family, private education, elite colleges, and yes, I worked extremely hard for what I have now.

The sooner you realize this and stop making judgments and blaming others and making peace with your own situation, the better off you will be. It is not really my problem other people are not successful nor more than it is a problem there are others much more financially successful than I am. Broadly speaking, most people end up with an outcome that does largely correspond with the actions of their decisions and their capabilties.

The bolded really jumped out at me to.  I've absolutely sat in meetings where my ideas were dismissed.  Minutes later a white male suggests the exact same thing and is to be told how great their idea is.  For years I thought I wasn't presenting my ideas well.  And then there was that time my boss told the entire office my GS level and my male colleague's GS level.  We were doing the same job.  We had the same resume except that I actually had experience in our sector, my colleague had interesting experience in another sector.  My colleague was a full GS level above me.  The same boss also preferred to higher people from their ivy league alma matter.  (I didn't go there).  I did also work for people who valued my contributions and who preferred resumes that showed real world work experience over fancy schools, but to pretend discrimination and dysfunction don't exist is beyond naïve.
