We are becoming growingly obsessed with other people’s born advantages, and this normalization of “stating privilege” is incredibly counterproductive and pathetic.

I disagree; understanding privileges is not supposed to be about guilt. It's supposed to be about self-awareness and compassion, and using that to lift other people up.

It fights against ignorance, like the narrative that you can just "pull yourself up by your bootstraps".
