I'm really confused about this idea of "unearned privilege" that the SJWs like to throw around. I'm especially confused about why three metrics that make a huge difference in a person's privilege - talent, intelligence, and good/bad looks - don't make the SJW list of metrics that determine a person's privilege.
According to the standard SJW worldview, the list of top metrics for determining a person's unearned privilege begins with race, gender, sexual orientation and trans/cis identity, religion, and able-body/disability. But if talent, intelligence, and good/bad looks are mostly genetically determined, they why are they not parts of "unearned privilege"?
And what exactly is an earned privilege? Is it privilege earned through hard work? That doesn't make sense, because being able to work hard is predicated on being able-bodied, or at least not being mentally dis-abled, which is a matter of unearned privilege.
Can someone explain to me why talent, intelligence, and good looks don't quality as "unearned privileges"?
And can someone explain to me what an "earned privilege" is?
