What Happens When We Don’t Check Our Privilege?

In a world where materialism is becoming increasingly important, it’s easy to forget that not everyone can afford the latest and greatest in technology. A girl in the poster’s class posted a TikTok where she was rating people’s laptops/iPads and rated her laptop, which is from 2011 and doesn’t have the best battery, a -3/10.

OP confronted her about it and she refused to take it down, so she was told to “check her f*cking privilege.” Has the OP overreacted or were they in the right to stand up for herself?

At a school that has switched to laptops and iPads, a stark financial divide has become apparent. A student in the school posted a TikTok rating people’s laptops and iPads, and when they came to the narrator’s laptop, they were rated it a -3/10 and the narrator was written off as “poor girl”.

The narrator confronted the student about the post, saying that it was incredibly classist and that not everyone can afford a €2000 laptop. Despite this, the student refused to take the post down.
