Great read.<p>I&#x27;ve become allergic to words like &quot;privilege&quot; as they usually are seen in the company of ill-thought-out and grandiose&#x2F;insulting&#x2F;wrong proclamations about How Things Should Be Done,<p>..but this is none of that - it&#x27;s an honest look and deep analysis of someone&#x27;s experience.<p>And knowing how important upbringing is, and the sheer (almost superhuman) tenacity the author had to go through to even partially overcome the (poisonous? non-optimum?) mindset that was completely a result of things out of their control...<p>what the heck is everyone else supposed to do? How does society do right by people like this? Overall, we&#x27;re pretty horrible at dealing with things that are as subtle as mindset.
