“I would hope that a wise Latina woman, with the richness of her experiences, would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life”
Since when did being poor equal a richness of experience? Oh, but I guess it doesn’t count if you stay poor. Your experience is only rich if you’ve been both poor and rich. Yeah. Because poverty is a great teacher. Everyone knows being poor isn’t at all limiting. You can do whatever you want, roam the streets freely, really feel what everyone’s going through. All the great philosophers were poor, don’t you know. Everyone who ever went to a prep school followed by an ivy-league education was an ignoramous.
It is beyond me why bootstrappers think they’re so damn special. It is a wonderful thing that you were able to rise above your circumstances. But doesn’t it ever occur to you that while you were struggling, and before you rose up, other people were already up, already studying and thinking on a high level?
