40/100 = Not privileged.

[Ban my account ffs!]

36/100

Not privileged. 

[100% pro-life no matter what]

I was around a 90 the last time I took it, but this is left-wing propaganda.  Is there anything wrong with being a straight white guy from a well-off family?

No, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, to dismiss it as propaganda is to miss the point (no surprise consider who I'm talking to). If you ever make a comment about someone of another race, sexuality, or gender identity that they say is racist but you deny, understand that you really can't understand where they're coming from because of your privilege. Know that whenever you support a political position that you denying hurting a minority, you will never be able to truly know where they're coming from. Indeed, whenever someone tells you to "check your privilege" they will likely be totally justified.

No.  In fact there is almost nothing wrong with it.  That's the problem.  You don't "get" it.  

Left-wing propaganda... smh

Places too much emphasis on ethnicity, and maybe sex* as well and not enough on class which is the truest measure of privilege. The fact that it asks me if I am a white male at all is a big problem.

*not the same as gender

What utter rubbish.

47/100 I might've taken the test wrong, but I don't really see how I could've.

Some of these don't apply to me(as a kid), 92. makes zero sense, and I have never been on an airplane.

I did this pretending to be a rural Ethiopian farmer and got a higher privilege score than my real one.

You may all kneel before me, peons, and answer only when you are spoken to.

a little disappointed there was no "I am doing this quiz" item

I hope President Trump shuts down buzzfeed.  It's a cancer on our society.

52/100. It's quite amusing really, I mean, I know I'm quite privileged in many respects, but the way these questions have been deliberately pointed in many cases actually (probably) works to reduce my 'privilege score'. I mean, take the accent question, that's presumably meant to apply to immigrants, or maybe certain types of (crudely speaking) minority accent. However, I can't tick the 'I have never been mocked for my accent' because I have - my mother essentially coached me when I was young to speak with quite a 'posh' accent (I went to a private school when I was little which assisted in that as well). Then, we moved right across the country and I was landed in a comp and brutally and repeatedly mocked for this accent, which I eventually managed to successfully modify so I could fit in with the other kids. Similarly, I have in fact been told I 'sound white' (more precisely 'you sound like a classic boring white guy'), although I assume the test is attempting to drive at non-whites being talked down to by whites, or conversely members of their own race, as sounding 'white'. The list goes on and on and on. I assume the test is a serious thing, but the fact it's such a blunt instrument is really quite funny, and to some extent I think it really hollows out the popular conception of 'check your privilege' as a serious notion.

     Buzzfeed should be allowed to operate, but we at least need to focus on deprogramming their readers.

52%. Would be 53, but I missed one, and being 15, some don't apply to me.

Because freedom of speech doesn't matter.

No. It doesn't.

69/100 privileged

Then again I checked off a bunch of questions that do not apply to me because of my age.

Also, considering where I live is mostly Hispanic, I do not see how my ethic group can discriminate against me.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

51/100 - privileged. A lot of them were answered more liberally, some were answered more conservatively. I'd say my range is between 45 and 60.

You’re quite privileged. You’ve had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don’t have them. Thank you for checking your privilege.

I actually got a minor pat down last year going through TSA. They wanted to pat down my chest. I assume it's because I put a few tissues in my breast pocket in my button down shirt going through the scanner.
