I'm feeling weird and I probably won't be able to articulate this. Had sociology class today and the chapter we're on is social stratification, how some people are privileged and some are not. I'm the only white person in the class and I feel that I'm being judged on that basis. And what makes it especially ironic is that I've spent my adult life living in the lower socio-economic strata, minimized and treated with less than respect at work. Yeah, my brother and my parents live in nice houses and stuff, but for many years I was on my own with no degree and no way to get a leg up. I dunno, now I sound like I'm whining. I guess I'm frustrated. But, first of all, I shouldn't take it personally, and secondly, I don't have anything to prove or explain to anyone.
