[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because its as hard as they worked and thats all they know. Most of us are blind to our own privileges. My parents are immigrants from eastern Europe. Came with nothing and a kid at 35. But they also had free PHD educations that were able to be translated and used as credentials, foreign language skills, a community they tapped into for support and they are white. Very different than immigrants from subsistence farming villages in central america for example. They all work hard but started with very different decks of cards. [/quote]
I had high school diploma when I came here from EE. I spoke 4 languages when I arrived and learned Spanish in one year thank to knowing a few before.
I did work hard, but people treated me like I was so special somehow. I was hired every time I applied for a job. I was offered jobs several times while I was working, and I had even been offered a job while I was shopping. I also got an apartment while I had no credit. I was told that I do. My friend told me that my credit was being white and I took notice.
By the way, my super power disappears when I go to Europe. I comes back when I get off the plane in US.[/quote]
