So the kid is not really white (I mean “white-privileged white”) either?
This kid is a wannabe in all directions, it seems. He won first prize for a “poem” he may have plagarized, and he is a self-styled “white privilege boy” who is not really white. Why is everyone patting him on the back? He’s right up there with Clock Boy in the fraud department.
I think that maybe the fact that he comes from such a diverse background and feels privileged puts the lie to the entire premise of his poem. The fact is that the United States of America has long recognized the contributions of immigrant groups, and he and his family are living proof of that.
