I'm done, too.

566. what I am trying to say

is that I do NOT see any extra portion, whatever that means.

I can think of some white males, Kurt and Dan, who received all kinds of "extra" portions that I know I never had to put up with. Kurt was tormented daily through junior high - because of his glasses I guess. Sam with Dan, although he later became a bit of a bully with my little brother and almost picked a fight with me one day, but there he was getting the crap beaten out of him while a circle of guys stood around cheering and one guy yells out "I've got him next".

It does not necessarily take orientation, skin color or gender to get an extra portion.

My black co-worker, for example, is ridiculously good looking, and I think it might take surgery to get the smile off his face. If life deals him an "extra portion" of anything, it seems to be an extra portion of "good things". Has he experienced some racist bullsh*t in his life? I do NOT doubt it, or excuse it, but put it on a scale and the good things will probably far, far outweigh the bad. At least from where I sit, having known him at work for almost ten years.

I just don't see this simplistic view where male WASPs supposedly have it easy in life, and most of the adherents of that theory have not really flown a mile with the wings of a WASP, or they grew up upper class and have stayed there and think most other white people are rich too.
