As a cis white male in good shape with 2 active parents in a predominantly white suburb I was obviously dripping with privilege.

Grew up very poor, and is primary reason I am very frugal even tho I do not have to be.
It is all relative. My parents (both from large families) purchased a house in a cheaper suburb than their brothers and sisters. So I grew up in a nice house, and was slightly more privileged than most local friends. I got to know how the hood works and was kind of attracted to some of the exciting sub cultures within it. Through circles, I was exposed to a great number of peers who didn't have it as good as me. They would regard me as a bit privileged.
Attending large family gatherings we were regarded as less privileged in a relative way by cousins and family who lived in a fancier part of town. In smaller houses in flash suburbs.
My wife and I got out of the hood, not through privilege, but from choices and effort.
Our kids are relatively privileged, and naive. They best not go to the hood. They have no idea of the shit that goes on in the wildling suburbs.
Someone should build a wall around those suburbs.

I imagine my kids will grow up the same way...
I think it's a real catch-22 :/
On the one hand, I really don't want my kids to have the same 'character building' experiences of growing up in a shithole town that I had, part of the reason I'm happy living here is because it's a way better place to bring up kids...
On the other hand, that shit IS character building and teaches you awareness and reality and how to look after yourself, so I think people who never experience it and grow up in a privileged bubble are at a disadvantage for pretty much their whole lives
not really much you can do I guess, it's a trade off :s

i think kids can learn awareness by going out of their comfort zones and learning about things outside of their bubble. reading books and traveling and the attitudes of the parents goes a long way. i often see some very wealthy young children with good heads on their shoulders.
