There's never been a better time to be rich, white, and male with a 1st world passport!
- fvdessen 10y agoThere's never been a better time to be a poor black female with a 1st world passport either
- Aeolun 10y agoIt's just that the imbalance between how good it is to be either is so big.
- fvdessen 10y agoIs it really ? I have multiplied my income by 10 in the last two years and it hasn't made a huge difference in my lifestyle. I can afford nicer versions of everything, but the improvement is marginal. Like going from pressing my own fruit to pushing a button on a Juicero.

- ItendToDisagree 10y agoHow many poor black females do you know with the income and need/interest to get a passport? Honestly curious.
- fvdessen 10y agoWell, Here in Belgium poor black females would usually have a passport to visit their family in Congo/Rwanda.
