I have soooo much privilege.
You don't believe in Jeebus enough.
King David destroyed and conquered the city of Jeebus (or Jebus), renaming it to Jeresulem thousands of years ago. Only the ten Jebusites* left roaming this world (whose few ancestors survived the ass whooping and genocide David delivered upon them) believe in Jeebus (aka "We believe that Jeresulem will one day be ours again when those pesky Jews and Muslims leave it"). Jeebus therefore embodies the great city that the Jebusites once had before the Canaanites were slaughtered.
*Well in actual truth, none exist anymore. David destroyed them all...

Wow. I could go into a spiel about the victim mentality making people give up before they start anything with their lives, but it's all been said before. If penniless immigrants can come to America and become immensely successful, there's nothing stopping someone born to a single parent (missing category) in a bad neighborhood from doing the same.
It's more about looking at the equality of circumstances at the beginning.
Some people start off with much, much more than others. Whether that determines success or not isn't the issue. It's simply showing who has the opportunities to succeed. A white protestant male with parents who are affluent or rich in the United States has a higher chance of succeeding (relative to material wealth) than a black ugly female who was born in Zambia.
Understandable. Still, I view things like this as damaging. "Oh, I've got that one thing that subtracts 500 points. Guess I'm screwed, so why try." That's the victim mentality I'm talking about - it's encouraged by this kind of thing. Couldn't help noticing all of the politically correct-victim groups getting swatted down hard.
Also, how is being Jewish an advantage? I'm not Jewish, but as I understand it, Europe has been getting rather hostile towards Jews in recent years.
I think this poll was made by an American, basing it off of Jewish-American stereotypes. You know, JAPs, the stereotypical Jewish-American Producer/Banker/Accountant/Lawyer/etc.
When it comes to religion though, it should have +25 Christianity (+200 if in the U.S.) and (+25 for being Jewish in the U.S.
This
"new atheism" presence has come from America. The demography of the people who watch atheist videos on YouTube are mostly male Americans. So there should be some character trait benefit of being an atheist in America (i.e "most people say God Bless you to wind you up which brings down your morale.
But it's a fine circle jerk in the atheist conferences and you acquire
+ 5 in morale and euphoria whenever you're near an atheist conference because
in that moment, you are europhic and not because of any phony's god's blessing but because you are enlightened by your own intelligence").
I'd say America (at least in some states) is becoming much more secular like England where there's no benefit of being Christian, Jew or atheist. The only religious person with a disadvantage is the Muslim because everyone thinks that their terrorists.
