Well I just learned from my liberal arts educated daughter that white people (especially white men) can’t be victims of racism. Wish we sent her to trade school.

Well I just learned from my liberal arts educated daughter that white people (especially white men) can’t be victims of racism. Wish we sent her to trade school. Would be $250k richer and she would likely be on her way to a six figure income with lifetime job security and a fast track to working for herself. Instead she lives with us at home, is working part-time (although she thinks it is full time!), makes sure I am aware of how unfair our meritocracy is on her way out the door to pick up her $7 Starbucks drink. Can’t wait to tell her she starts paying rent January 1st.
Mr. Vandelay, re: charging daughter rent: do it! My (deceased) father-in-law used to tell the story of how the eldest daughter (born 1948 - beginnings of baby boomers) full time student and no job, started becoming "enlightened" while attending university and would run her mouth about the evils of "the man". She would criticize her parents about the size of their house, their cars, their jobs, etc., while the king-sized irony flew right over her head. Her poor father worked two jobs, mother had one, in order to keep her and her two siblings in a very nice home, good neighborhood, nice schools, nice clothes, plenty of everything. Plus, she had the audacity to keep taking certain classes over and over until she got straight As. Her perfection being paid for by dear old dad. LOL!
