It's not obvious? Because white males as a demographic are the most privileged people on the planet and not coincidentally also the ones most prone to petty, oblivious arrogance, tantrum-throwing, and egotistical man-splaining. The latter was demonstrated by the one in this NASA scientist's anecdote.

This robs people of their individual context. The UK Prime Ministers wife is Indian and astonishingly privileged. You are suggesting a poor mine worker from Romania is somehow more privileged based on how he looks.

Lumping people into loose categories (particularly based on skin colour) and then prescribing loose values to them is fascist and racist.

youre deliberately misinterpreting the concept of intersectionality, it includes class.

I'm not deliberately mistinterpreting anything, if I don't understand something, then explain it to me.

Incredibly privileged of you to assume everyone else has your spoilt middle class educational background

You're posting to a niche reddit-clone that you only could've reliably found out about through either reddit, twitter, or mastodon. You have access to Google, you disingenuous twit.

ok so you have deliberately removed as many brain cells as possible from your brain, understood 07

Do you really think that you know all there is to know? Perhaps I know something that you don't, but you don't know what it is. What then?
