There are so many different variables in the life of a human being -- advantages and disadvantages. I'd argue there are so many variables that using a single variable to judge anyone makes zero sense.

I'm a black male, but I grew up middle class. Does a white person who grew up poor in the Appalachian mountains with meth-addicted parents have more privilege than me simply because they're white? I'd say no.
