But, but, but I am actually Chinese so isn’t intersectionality a big win for me in the hierarchy of who feelz the most oppressed?
Here is my attempt to up my score in oppression monopoly. Scale 1-5. Top score of 40 is possible
PoC though doubtful my racial profile is regarded as properly oppressed on the scale. 3
Working class background - worked in parental chippy and takeaway 6 days a week 14 hour split shifts so 5, but -2 as parents’ are evil capitalist asset owners and the decades paying the mortgage don’t count. Bonus point as I was treated as slave labour earned less than £2 an hour from age 14. 4
Generational trauma: mum literally starved post WWII. Dad died of alcoholism. Immigrant fam came over to grow Britain 5.
Language- English is technically my second language though I can understand bits I am no longer able to speak my first language so 5-2 for being a cultural sell-out aged 4: 3
Education: state educated but minus 6 as I was first person in my family to go to university but I stuck around as long as uni would have me so embarrassing PhD in dilettante subject which should have made me a dead cert for Aunty Beeb. But my views are deeply problematic and don’t reflect my Russel group pedigree -1
Disability does getting early onset cataracts count due to too much time at manuscripts count? Probably not so 0.
Sexuality-lesbian
5 as super oppressed sexuality apparently even for the male lesbians who we MUST DATE due to cotton ceiling.
Earnings- the worst of the worst shoot me now. -higher rate tax payer. Oh hang on if you shot all the high rate tax payers… still your opinion is mud. Big fat zero. But those doing an internship in a media co while living in flat bought by parents in Battersea get the full 5 point allocation.
A measly 19. Feel free to ignore all I say.
