verbminx I am getting sick of having to dump my browser cache due to this "The website wants to run the following add-on: "Microsoft Data Access - Remote Data Services Dat..." pop-up warning. If you ever get that, it's apparently always something malicious, a cracking attempt. I got rid of it earlier by cleaning my cache, but apparently I must do so again.
If you want to know where that Social Class Meme came from, and why it seems so weirdly geared towards American college students, please see its page at Indiana State University. Of course it's flawed; it's meant as a basic class exercise to get young people started in thinking about the topic, rather than being intended as the be-all, end-all statement on social class and economic privilege.
If you want to read something potentially useful about privilege, see 10 Mistakes White People Make When Talking About Race. Most of this stuff is 101-level, but I still know otherwise well-meaning adults, mostly of my parents' generation, who do this stuff and just don't get that it's not appropriate. (Also, enjoy the rampant insanity in some of the comments to that post. Sheesh.)
