I&#x27;m not sure what you are getting at with your school example. 20% of students from school B aren&#x27;t graduating; 70% of students from school A aren&#x27;t graduating. If you institute some program that leads to one new kid graduating, who cares if it&#x27;s in school A or B?<p>Gross inequalities between groups _can_ exist, but that tells us _nothing_ about any particular individual within the group, only that individual&#x27;s chances _when no other information is available_. But other information _is_ available when looking at an individual.<p>You seem to be suggesting we somehow theoretically add up all one&#x27;s advantages and disadvantages- But that means... Considering the individual. Great, I agree. Since we are doing that, phrases such as &quot;recognize your male privilege&quot; mean nothing to an individual male, because it is very possible that individual male has severe disadvantages that make singling out the maleness aspect ridiculous- It would be like telling a minority male shot by a cop to reflect on his privilege of not generally facing sexism like a woman does (setting aside that a &quot;male&quot; privilege here is actually a disadvantage, but you get the idea).<p>In general people have an obligation to help the less fortunate, I agree.
