I got 43... I might score a little higher if I think deeper on it, but not sure. 50 sounds about right for me.

...he says mockingly, while sipping a mint julep on the porch of his plantation.

I got 70. It was the substantial recreational drug use in my youth (god i miss my youth) which lost me the plantation.

Le sigh.

For what it is worth, others share your pain.
Though for me most of the "I have never..." translate to "I have never or I can't be bothered to remember, because I really don't care". And its really a poor quiz. Physical attractiveness (height, looks, weight) is a huge part of being privileged, as is the heritable component of your IQ. Its also missing the privileges of being a stereotypical female.

Call me naive, but...
What's "white" in this context?
How's "race" defined?
How am I supposed to know what other people earn?
What's "summer camp"? "Cable"? "Spring Break"?
What constitutes an "identity" in this context?

Questions of an under-privileged pansy... Back to work, whitey! By the way, you're cute for your race.
I tried taking the quiz, but there were too many idiotic questions to bother completing it. Bleh.

You all fail for having taken the test yourselves.
What are attendants for, after all?

Touche. I just needed something to kill kill a few minutes while I was air frying some hamburgers which is admittedly another task best suited for an attendant. Le sigh.

Should've been able to tell from the title that it was going to be the standard barrage of Tumblr rage.
When presented with a quiz so-titled, replace all questions on the test with "Die, cis scum! (I don't understand how this could undermine legitimate efforts at reform)" and you've probably got it.

Clerics and wizards should always remember to check their class privilege lest they overshadow their less fortunate comrades.

58. Though i feel this quiz is prejudiced against me in that i can never achieve 100% because my dad gave me a stupid X chromosome instead of a Y one. Possible i'm interepting some questions wrong too, could be higher. But never more than 99%

76 and I was impressed with how silly this quiz was.
