What about all the talented and hard working people we are not speaking about, merely because they did not have rich and supportive parents? Why is it so popular to act as if this does not make a difference? Economic status is the elephant in the room when it comes to discrimination. It does not feel good to acknowledge this, in particular if one personally is higher up the ladder. Nonetheless it’s the truth.
- marginalia_nu 5y agoWhich success is not in part due to outside circumstances? If it's not your parents' wealth, it's your upbringing, or your genes, or the people you happen to know, or where you happen to live, or the time at which you come up with an idea. Doesn't mean that the success is undeserved.
