So no, you weren't necessarily the fastest and strongest swimmer. Even better, you were chosen from among millions.
(Yes, that means we're all Chosen Ones and any of us can bring balance to the force.)
50 degrees? How do your oven knobs even get that hot? Mine don't change temperature at all, always room temperature. If your oven knobs get recognizably warmer (yet to spend of 50°) something seems to be awfully wrong with your oven!
Bullshit. Western-centric, maybe. But even globally seen are white people generally better off than non-white people. That doesn't mean that in countries that are not USA, Canada or european countries non-white people cannot be privileged over white people, but globally and statistically, white people have more freedom are wealthier and have better access to any kind of infrastructure.
Then your definition is dumb. There are a lot of poor people in the US. Just because there are people worse off doesn't mean your own poors aren't poor and underprivileged and suffering from it.
Edit: Your description also even furthers my point, because the globally poorest people are non-whites and they are also outnumbering rich and privileged by a large margin.
Yes, there are rich and privileged people with any given skin color. Nonetheless are non-white rich and privileged people by far outnumbered by white rich and privileged and non-white rich and privileged are very often less privileged than their white peers.
Drew from Genetically Modified Skeptic released this video just a few days ago, explaining why he turned down working with Dawkins and explains also how Dawkins works with religious nutjobs.
Dawkins found the retraction to be unprofessional, and then chose to withdraw from the board of that organization. It seems like it had less to do with a personal opinion about trans people, and more to do with the professional standards of an organization.
I doubt that. Dawkins teamed up with religious fundamentalists to speak out against trans rights multiple times in the past.
Also, not being disabled in any way is a massive factor in being able to take those opportunities. Being lucky enough to be born into a stable family wealthy enough so you can just be a kid and study helps immensely. Not being denied opportunities due to skin color or gender helps, too. Et cetera, et cetera.
Ok, boomer.
