Nobody ever says this about mediocre white women, or any POC of any gender

Seems to me that these people want to date people of high social status/privilege in society - and due to mediocre white men’s complete lack of any highly positive qualities - by virtue of being “mediocre” - can more easily be stripped back to only being viewed as white and a man as the sole standing “positive qualities”, making them a more pure symbol of status/privilege

    Meanwhile white men, while yes they still work hard, they don’t have to work as hard to get to the same level of return.

    Precisely. I think the word “privilege” kinda gaslights people into thinking that they aren’t working hard. Everyone is working hard, but not everyone is rewarded the same way. I’m even able to believe that capitalists work hard but they don’t work 312 times harder than I do, so they don’t deserve their wealth.
