I always figured the idea of checking your privilege was to be aware of your advantages so you don't say/do silly things and you know where and how to help out under-privileged when possible? Am I off-base somewhere?
Cos I keep seeing (often highly marginalised) people talk themselves out of doing things they would enjoy and/or that would make their lives better because they happen to have some privilege, and it's beginning to bother me
