It is really regrettable that humans have this incredibly illogical, subconscious algorithm for making otherwise logical decisions.
Most of the money and capital in this world are held by the older generations rather than the younger generations. The younger generations have to then spend their time "pitching" the older generations on ideas that, in a vacuum, are logical but not evident to the older generations.
As a result, anyone in the younger generations who has a personal relationship with the older generations (such as yourself) will become disproportionately wealthy if their pitch is accepted, compared to say the 27 year old single mother + person of color.
- astrodust 8y agoThere's an argument in the middle of this muddled statement that's valid, but this seems excessively combative. The problem is not people with good connections, it's a system that rewards those connections.
- tathougies 8y agoAs a person of color, the last time I checked, there are also old people of color. It's not like we just sprung up fully formed 10 years ago or something, okay?
- anoncoward111 8y agoThere's no need to accuse me (an ally) of allegedly forgeting your existence when I was merely trying to give an example of someone who is statistically extremely underprivileged.
- tathougies 8y agoThe entire idea of 'allyship' is racist, tbh. There are >3 billion non-white people. The idea that you can somehow promote all their interests is ridiculous. The only way you can believe that is if you actually think we are all the same. Last time I checked, we don't all share one group mind.
