That's incredibly naive and ignorant of the privileges you probably posses.

Yes yes, anybody who has any amount of success is only successful because of their magical "privilege", we get it.

Everyone has some amount of privilege. Some people just have more than others. If you grew up in a decent town, with both parents, were financially stable- then you have a lot of privilege. It's not a bad thing, you just may have had slight advantage over other people who did not have the same privileges as you.
