Being born a cis white male in the USA. It's not right, but it was lucky.
I'll come back with an answer more in line with the intent of the question if I see this again later.
Seriously, my life is (unfairly) so much easier than it could have been. That's not lost on me. Let's change that.
I'd say the USA part puts you somewhere closer to the middle of the luck spectrum these days..
Dad told me this in the early 90s. Listen: "This might sound racist, but you were damned lucky to be born a young, white, American male in the late 20th century."
He was right. Double lucky, because mom would have aborted my happy ass if it had been legal in 1971. And now here I am to pester all y'all with my bullshit opinions!
Exactly my thinking. Could have been born and raised in much worse circumstances, considering everything going on in the world.
