How I Learned Privilege Exists
This essay was originally written and published in 2019. I've made slight edits in 2025 for clarity.

So I caved. I have a TikTok now. This video is also on TikTok I guess it’s not exactly “new”, I opened the account a couple years ago, but I never really did anything with it. It’s an interesting moment in the life of a Gen X-er or a Millennial, when a tech development happens when you’re in your upper 20s or so and you have a horrifying moment of realization that, “Oh.
