When Maggie told Amelia to check her white privilege, I almost puked. Really, Maggie? You're mixed. You've lived a charmed life with amazing parents. You're a genius that graduated early and is a chief of cardio surgery before the age of 30. You're pretty privileged compared to most people I know.
The Avery's are rich because of the foundation that the old white grandfather started yet they bitched about him all the time. They were free to step away from the family name and make their own way but they rode those riches for their entire lives.
Many others worked hard to get where they are and they fought racial tensions because they are older. But these young folks making 6 figures, buying yachts and fancy sports cars can shut the hell up. Systemic racism is a joke. People need to take responsibility for their own lives and actions. You want something better? Do better. Stop blaming your lack of success on racism.
