What Exactly Is an "Earned Privilege"?

[paulpablo]

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?

I think intelligence, good looks and innate talent are unearned privileges.

Generally an earned privilege is something someone worked hard for.

But this is usually combined with unearned privilages such as good looks and inherited intelligence anyway.

And then it could be more complicated if you take into account that some people have the privilege of being raised to work harder/make more wise choices than other people.  Which in itself is an unearned privilage because you don't decide who your parents are.  You didn't work hard in order to be raised by the right parents, it just happened.
