Being a southern boy, I’ve been mocked for a lot of things....and still am mocked by hollywierd and liberals.
I had a car in high school because I had jobs to earn money. It’s this new thing called work!
Good Lord that’s long.
Yes, I’ve been told I’m attractive because I’m Italian. It’s a curse but I live with it.
Yes, I grew up privileged but my parents (married, cis-gender) required me to start working summer and part-time jobs starting at 16 so I’d see what the real world was like and wouldn’t be spoiled. So, in high school and college, among other things I was the yard man for my neighborhood, took care of animals, worked in a cafeteria washing dishes and cleaning tables after it closed at night, worked construction as a non-union helper which means I was at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of how I was treated, and worked as a maintenance man and a delivery driver. I had one maintenance job where I was the only “white” employee (I’m actually not white but we passed), everyone else was Filipino. They treated me like I was brain-damaged because I didn’t understand Tagalog or Ilocano, which is what they were speaking all the time. That was ok, I learned a lot from all those experiences. I never got an allowance from my parents, if I wanted money I had to work for it.
After all that, I decided my goal in life was to work in an office job with air-conditioning.
LOL! Yes!
I grew up in a farmhouse and I started work walking beans, rouging and detasseling corn, and bailing straw and hay, all summer long. Mom would drop me off and pick me up at day end. I was so happy to get minimum wage.
It told me, too, that I only wanted a desk job. I’ve said this to many.
Good for both of us!
😂97% of those are pureD 🐴💩. Some Christian group huh? Butt, i keep forgetting I’m driving the wrong way on a one way street.
Mrs rktman says she may be as well. If so, I’m golden!
Okay.

Well to take this at face value, such a person would indeed have a lot going for them, but more to the point, being able to say that you aren’t comfortable being in an airport line is itself privileged (since you have to access to air travel), and being uncomfortable showing affection in public with a partner presupposes that you aren’t Asexual, or British.
I’ll see your “privilege” and raise you a “if you have no dead siblings, you are privileged.”
Go peddle your guilt somewhere else snowflake!
My parents are heterosexual?
Yes, because if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be my parents and I wouldn’t be here. Oh, I know about the recent wonders of science that have changed the biological facts that have been in place since God scooped up Adam from the mud and repurposed a rib to make Eve, but I am too old to have been produced by modern science.
Number 3. “I have never been the only person of my race in a room.”
Actually, this happened often when I spent a year in South Korea. I don’t recall being traumatized by it.
My Dad grew up on a farm in California. As a kid they spent their time picking prunes and other fruit (they never called them plums, they were prunes). That’s what kids were for back then. He’s been gone for a long time now, but he always talked about how much he hated picking prunes.
Here, I found an article on it: https://patch.com/california/losgatos/bp—blog-picking-prunes
It’s why schools are closed in the summer....at least up north.
LOL, I’ve spent time in Korea, Japan and Taiwan. I’ve also never felt traumatized.
I’m born & raised in Wisconsin, so I am ALWAYS mocked for my accent when I venture out among the English!
I demand my reparations! I’ll take it in Brandy and Cheese, Please!
There is so much wrong with this “checklist” on so many levels...
Starting with the last 4 questions referring to multiple identities-in abnormal psychology, we learned that those individuals who believe they have more than one identity are suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder-and that is not normal...
Why do you need to lie?
I was mocked for my accent, once.
Wow. Nothing ‘Christian’ about YWCA anymore I guess. Just another SJW org.
That was a pleasant read.
I would still call those “plums” until they are dried, though. Strange local practice!
