I thought we were just focusing on the race checklist. (I actually am a straight married man, but from force of habit I always say "my girlfriend.")
But let's pretend we're talking about my son. And let's find a racial handicap from the '50s which doesn't exist anymore.
"Young man," I say, "here's a deal for you. On the downside, you can't marry anyone not the same race as you."
"That's kind of uncool, Dad," he says. "What's the upside?"
"450 free points on your SAT. Also, you basically can't be fired from a job, ever. Also..." and I run through my Black Privilege Checklist.
What do you think he's going to say? What would you say?
