[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rich people don't know that meritocracy is a myth.

I know a lot of very smart, very hardworking young people who will never achieve as much as they deserve to, and many wealthy and entitled young people who will be given jobs just for breathing and occupying space.[/quote]

This times one million!

Rich people have zero idea how easy they have it in most aspects of life.[/quote]

You just described white privilege too. [/quote]

All of this. I’m white and I didn’t grow up poor but I also did not grow up rich like the kids and now adults that I’m surrounded by where i live in Bethesda. I’m fortunate that my parents worked hard and made sacrifices for our family, and that I got to go to college (with loans) and post-grad (with loans). At first I didn’t understand why all these people send their kids to private school when we have crazy good public schools, and then I realized it’s (for most people I know, I realize there are exceptions so sorry to generalize) just one way of paving the golden road for these kids. Surround yourself with other rich kids with rich parents and already you’ve built [b]a network where people will just hand you stuff based on your rich people network and social status.[/b] Also one of my friends that grew up around here asked me where my family’s vacation home is like, of course everyone has one. She also just couldn’t relate to the fact that I had a job starting at age 13 (not including all the babysittting I did before that) and also worked, not vacationed, during the summers.[/quote]

I was with you until that part.  I do not comprehend that grown adults think anyone hands anyone else stuff.

A lot of people get high paying positions (qualified or not) based on their network and connections. [/quote]
