I replaced the image with one that doesn't have a potty word in it (I did not fix any of the copious misspellings, though -- how many points do you subtract if you can't spell?). Readers, beware that if you click on the link to the original image, you might see that potty word!

I question the notion that having a net worth greater than $1,000,000,000 is exactly as much a privilege as being a white Jew.

Social commentary is always fine in my book, but this and its arbitrary assignments of penalty just ticks me off.

Tumblr[dukar] is the worst. This should be called "HOW NORMAL ARE YOU?" Anyways,

White: +25
Male: +25
Straight: +20
Cis (lol @ using that term in a serious context): +20
Canada: +20
Christian: +5
Middle class: +0
Able-bodied: +25
Overweight: -10
Ugly face: -20
Tall: +10
None/Other: +0
Saturday: -15

TOTAL: 105

These values are way out of whack. Being noticeably disfigured warrants at least -100, and being completely deaf is nearly as bad as being blind. Unless you're over 5'10" or so, height isn't much of an issue for a woman.

White: +25
Male: +25
Gay: -150
Cis: +20
US: +20
Christian: +5
Middle Class: 0
Able-bodied: +25
Attractiveness: 0?  My face is simultaneously well proportioned yet my complexion is sub-par...
Size: 0?  I'm only slightly shorter than average...
Profession: 0
Saturday: -15

Total = -30 NON-PRIVILEGED.  I figured my white maleness would have outweighed my sexuality in terms of the societal privileges I receive...

Ah yes, the most abhorrent profession in the world: scientist.

Hated even more than the firemen.

Worse than being unemployed, apparently.

It'd be hilarious if the chart included Amish as a choice in the religion category.
