2. Yet one more complaint from a privileged white male

that he can't stay utterly privileged anymore. Like when they started letting women and minorities into colleges.

My father-in-law, who was Jewish (he's long since passed away) always told the story of when he was interviewed to get into medical school, was told "We already have too many of your kind here." This would have been in the early '30s. He complained to the president of the school and was admitted the next year.
