This is partially due to inherited culture, not automatic privilege as most of the crybabies on here want to assume.

If you grow up with parents who became wealthy because they believed in emphasizing academic success and hard work, which in turn causes you to emphasize academic success and hard work, was it really an unfair advantage that you’ve obtained?

You’ve benefited from the positive culture imparted on you by a successful upbringing. Why should this not be celebrated as a good thing?

If anything more studies should be done to look into the link between poor parenting and generational poverty. The world is fucked if instead of asking ourselves “How can we raise the bar?” we ask “How can we lower the ceiling?”
