Well, I can't say that I was being very introspective at the moment I clicked on your post as to my motivation for doing so.
I will hazard a guess, though, that my motivation was one of, or a combination of, the following:
- I saw that stellabelle was the author, and I generally read all of her posts
- I find that the current reaction to "white privilege" has become divisive and counterproductive
and I wanted to see if this post would be an extension of that - I was intrigued to see if there would be any distinguishing features of "rich and white" as
opposed to "rich and any other variable"
It was your current self, not the 17-year-old, that formulated that title. I personally know several people who are "rich and white", and have read the biographies of others, for whom it is not anything at all like you describe.
