The notion of privilege

I think much talk of “privilege” is actually false modesty on the part of the speaker – probably 90% of it actually.  However, Arnold Kling has a list of other factors, particularly

• being tall
• having attractive features (or at least not being extremely unattractive)
• being naturally outgoing (extroverted)
• not having mental disorders, such as autism, depression, or schizophrenia
• not having debilitating physical ailments or physical handicaps
• growing up with your biological father (particularly if you are male).
• having artistic gifts

There is no political advantage to either side for these so no one ever talks about them…
