Why is it lucky? Would you consider yourself to be lesser had you been born non-white and female in this country? Outside of this country?
Here's the way it works.
I was lucky enough to be born in the right place and the right time and the right family. Were you? Probably.
Not in a third world country. Not in the ghetto. Not in a shit-filled abusive family. Would I be lesser? Of course not. Would I have more obstacles to dig myself out of those situations and be successful?
That answer should be obvious.
