The effect is real and pronounced.
One of the perceived privileges of the elite is their very access to opportunity, and being there is to provide that access.
Not being there is to observe the access, which is the addition of transparency that never existed before, but fundamentally the access hasn't been granted.
If you're already in a tough place without access to these kinds of opportunity, this is just going to underline and bold that some more.
- anseljh 12y agoWhy the gnashing of teeth? Yes, privilege is real, but they had to pick some place to do it, and it's a hell of a lot better to have it online and for free than to not have it online and for free.
- buro9 12y agoNo gnashing of teeth, just a deep empathy (I was homeless/street-sleeping when young) with people who feel that they are (for whatever reason: geographical, socioeconomical, gender, racial, etc) lacking in privilege and locked out.
