That privilege meme is false, however, because it's not really measuring privilege per say, but socio-economic background. Privilege is more tied into culture, not really money, at least when you consider that race can be a big factor. Example: A minority who makes as much as Bill Gates would not be able to get away with the same nutty or illegal behavior as Gates. That's an example of privilege.
