This is the very first time I've heard the expression "check your privilege". I googled it and I'm left with the impression it means something along the line of, how dare you. Is that right or wrong?
I don't think I've ever given thought to privilege. I know I've had some advantages in life that some haven't had but it's all relative because others have had way more than me. I'm just a middle class cracker like millions of other people. I don't necessarily feel privileged.
Having said all that, I still don't think I understand "check your privilege". Seems like kind of a snotty expression.
