Upper Middle Class White Male

what can i say? i was born into it, not only am i white, but a male as well. this being the case, i can say that all of the advantages on that list not only apply to me, but were written and targeted specifically at me. i was the kind of person that was being thought of when that was written. its hard to think of any more off the top of my head that i fall under, all the most obvious ones were in the article. but just to recant a few of them; i have never been followed in a store (and i even have stolen from one), most of the music i listen to is made, produced, sold, etc. by white guys, the cops have never bothered me personally, and my parents actually made me go to a UC over the less expesnive SF state.
now that i think about it, its actually very suprising to me that i cant think of a single incident in my life where i was disadvantaged because of my race or gender; i suppose that im just lucky to have been born into the situation that i was born into. i know that there must have been at least one time in my life when somthing has happened...but it must just not have been big or important enough for me to remember it. if i think of any i will come back to this post and add it on.
