Laying any reservations about talent (and intelligence) being the product of practice and determination, or good looks having at least a little to do with hygiene and learned habits...they would be unearned privilege if you were "just born that way"...wouldn't they be?
As to earned privilege..this is just my experience so it only goes so far...but an earned privilege is generally something you get for accomplishing some task. Run a 5 minute mile, get out of PT the next day. Post big efficiency numbers, write your own schedule. I suppose it helps to have as much unearned privilege like the above as you can get to secure the earned privilege, yeah?
Being born a "fit" person helps you hit the 5 minute mark (and sure maybe alot of running does the same thing, but hey - nice to be born skinny with long legs regardless, amiright)..and maybe being intelligent helps you post the big numbers (or you could just be a diligent performer that follows a proven method...but again...helps not to be dumb either way).
As far as this relates to social justice, unearned privilege does seem to have an effect on earned privilege, doesn't it? The question for an sjw must be whether or not this is acceptable, or to what extent we might accept it. So what do you think. Is unearned privilege that helps us with earned privilege a blanket okay..or do you have some reservations about that? Should my being more talented, more intelligent, and better looking than yourself be the metrics by which an earned privilege is decided between us?
