Maybe we should stop complaining about privilege and call it opportunity?
If you happen to have rich parents who pay for the best college, that's an awesome opportunity. Nobody should have to feel bad about taking it!
If you are poor, but happen to have a lot of spare time, that's also an opportunity.
Complaining about privilege is not actionable. Focussing on opportunities is a lot more constructive: We can look for ways to give someone an opportunity!
