[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You can’t put a number on someone’s adversity. That’s why people are so frustrated. My mother was mentally ill and abusive my entire childhood. It was adversity, but I could never include it on an application. I am not white. [/quote] When there's massive historical inequality coupled with a swift and massive sequestration of resources by the ultra-rich in the US, yes, you certainly [b]can[/b] assign a number to it, though you can certainly quibble over what that number should be. This is the difference between a personal story such as your own and a wider story such as the experience of most black people in this country.[/quote] I question your premise? Can you assign a number to it? How? And what do you do once you have that number?[/quote]
